Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo has called on the federal government to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, saying he is prepared to stand surety for him.
“We need Nnamdi Kanu in the roundtable conversation to discuss the insecurity in the South East. We must end insecurity in the South East and we need Nnamdi Kanu to be around.”
Soludo promised to cater for Kanu if released to him, assuring that he would bring him to the authorities any time he would be required to do so.
Kanu was first arraigned on December 23, 2015, and was later granted bail on April 25, 2017.
He fled the country in September 2017 following an invasion of his house by the military in his Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia country home in Abia State.
He was re-arrested in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria and has been facing trial since then.
