Reps caucus adopts call for Kanu’s release

At least 180 members of the minority caucus of the House of Representatives have adopted the call for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The caucus adopted a motion presented by the lawmaker from Abita State, Obi Aguocha, at the caucus end of dinner on Monday in Abuja.
The caucus consists of all members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Young Progressives Party (YPP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Aguocha, the lawmaker representing Ikwuano, Umuahia North, and Umuahia South Federal Constituency of Abia State, had made a passionate appeal to the minority caucus to push for Kanu’s release.
He urged his colleagues to take a position on the ongoing discourse surrounding Kanu and to explore a political solution to the matter.
He stressed that the resolution of Kanu’s case was crucial for peace, stability, and unity of the country.
He called for immediate and strategic engagement with relevant stakeholders to advocate a peaceful and political resolution to the matter.
Kanu, who was brought back to the country in June 2021, is standing trial for alleged treason and terrorism at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Governors of five states in the South-East had earlier this month resolved to meet the Federal Government to facilitate the release of the IPOB leader.
