The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has told president Bola Ahmed Tinubu how to shut the self-acclaimed Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa activities in the South East.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo said releasing the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will relieve the tension in the South-East.
Ohanaeze spokesperson, Alex Ogbonnia said, “If he (Kanu) is released, at least the likes of Simon Ekpa would not have anything else to say again. No person can use Nnamdi Kanu as an excuse to cause mayhem in the country.
“We have been consistent on the release of Nnamdi Kanu. We believe that the problem of what happened to Nnamdi Kanu has contributed to the agitation. What is happening in the South East now is the manifestation of the social injustices meted on the South East.
“Nnamdi Kanu issue will require a diplomatic political solution and not a matter of charging him to court, leaving him in prison or being incarcerated; rather such will lead to more clamouring and affects the situation,” he added.
