The release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been demanded by the House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee, which was established to work with relevant security agencies to reduce kidnapping, murders, and banditry in and around Isiukwuato and Umunnochi Local Government Area of Abia State.
The committee urged that in order for peace to return to the southeast, the agitator must be freed.
The decision was announced during a meeting on Thursday in Abuja by the committee’s chairman, Hon. Obinna Aguocha.

For complete peace and a decline in crime, according to Aguocha, the government must accept the rule of law, justice, and fair inclusion of the South East region.
It cannot be overemphasised, he said, that in order to realise Project Nigeria, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be unconditionally released from his wrongful arrest in order to guarantee long-term stability and security throughout the entire area.
Speaking to the security agencies present at the conference, he explained that locations like Abia State experience insecurity issues because of shared borders with other states, which allows criminals to roam freely across the state’s borders.
According to him, “The opportunity for inter-state collaboration presents itself and must be explored to foster regional participation. The challenges faced by one state rippled across it’s neighbours and therefore, our strategies for resolution must be all inclusive.

“By synergising our resources, expertise, and perspective, we can create a stronger front against insecurity and strengthen the bond that binds us.
“As we navigate the complexities of security concerns, we must also be prepared to tackle the root causes of these issues at their core and work to ensure lasting solutions that would stand the test of time.”
