The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha,
has called on the Federal Government to
consider the release of the self-acclaimed leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),
Nnamdi Kanu.
The governor attributed Nnamdi Kanu’s actions
to youthful exuberance, and believes that his
continued detention is a distraction.
He added that some south east leaders are
already coming together to make a case for his
release and would caution his actions
afterwards.
The governor gave this explanation in Owerri at
the sideline of an event at the Government
House in Imo state.
Meanwhile, the Federal High Court in Abuja has
fixed April 25, 2017 for ruling on bail application
filed by the self acclaimed leader and three
others.
The court also reserved April 6, to hear the
application seeking for a variation on its earlier
ruling on protection of witnesses, in the matter
through the use of screen or mask
