Self-styled Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, has urged the Federal Government to immediately release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB).
Igbohos plea, conveyed through a viral video on Tuesday, coincided with Kanus ongoing trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Kanu, who appeared in court on Monday, for the first time following a Supreme Court ruling on December 15, 2023, has been in custody since June 2021.
Igboho emphasised Kanus innocence and called for an end to political manoeuvres, noting that Kanu should be released to reunite with his family.
In the video, Igboho said, Release Nnamdi Kanu; stop politics. This guy didnt do anything. Today is February 27, 2024. Release him, let him go, and stay with his family.
This guy just fights for his people in the Southeast like me that Im fighting for my people in Yoruba-land. Release him, let him go. Stop these political games. Release Kanu, let him go home, please release him.
