Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the most important sociocultural organisation of the Igbo people, has demanded the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), stating that his continuing arrest is not helpful.
The group also stated that it was prepared to sign an indemnity agreement with the Federal Government to secure the activist’s release.
Remember that Nnamdi Kanu’s release was also urged by the House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee, which was established to work with relevant security agencies to reduce kidnapping, murder, and banditry in and around the Isiukwuato and Umunnochi Local Government Area of Abia State.
LATEST: We Are United On Nnamdi Kanu’s Release – Ohanaeze
In order for peace to return to the southeast region, the committee insisted that the agitator be freed.
The decision was announced by the committee’s chairman, Hon. Obinna Aguocha, during a meeting on Thursday in Abuja.
For complete peace and a decline in crime, according to Aguocha, the government must recognise the rule of law, justice, and equitable 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.
In response to the parliamentarians’ request, Ohanaeze noted that the unrestricted freedom of the self-determination agitator would provide the greatest joy to the Igbo people.

Dr. Alex Ogbonnia, the national publicity secretary of Ohanaeze, expressed gratitude to the federal legislators for understanding that growth cannot exist without security.
He stated that the group had continued to push for Kanu’s release to restore peace and security in the zone.
The Ohanaeze spokesman said: “Realising that the incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu is something that Ohanaeze has been talking about, so there is nothing that will delight Iwuanyanwu much more than releasing Nnamdi Kanu because that has been the stand of Ohanaeze. Whatever is the issue, we will handle it diplomatically and politically. Political solution will solve the problem. Continuous incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu does not help matters because it helps to create tension in the South East and increase the insecurity in the region.
“Two points I am trying to make. One is to thank them and, secondly, to respond to the call made by Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu to release Nnamdi Kanu. The third one is that we are prepared to guarantee that Nnamdi Kanu will be of the required conduct.”
