The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has made it clear that he is willing to comply with any requirements the federal government sets for his release. 

This is according to South-East senators, led by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe. After discussing Kanu’s detention with Prince Lateef Fagbemi, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice on July 3, Senator Abaribe made this announcement. 

Prior to the official talks on Wednesday, Abaribe stated that he paid Kanu a personal visit at the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters on Monday. 

Speaking on behalf of his peers, Abaribe affirmed his trust that the Attorney General would successfully push for Kanu’s release, stressing the negative effects of his protracted imprisonment on Southeast African security.

Abaribe said,

 “I met with Nnamdi Kanu myself on Monday,” Abaribe said in response to a question concerning Kanu’s willingness to accept conditional release. Now it’s Wednesday. He wholeheartedly supports our efforts. On Monday, we met between 2 and 3 PM. He is willing to comply with whatever requirements that the federal government may set.”

“Political leaders, business people and everybody in the South East is concerned about the release of Nnamdi Kanu, knowing fully well that is the fulcrum regarding the insecurity in the region.
 
“All the criminals and all the people going around causing mayhem in the South East have all said that it’s because Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being held, and we know that’s not the truth, it is just that we have gotten to the point where people are now hijacking the legitimate call for his release and turning it into something that has led to death, destruction of properties and so many other indescribable mayhem going on in the South East and so we came to meet with the minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation because we know that at the end of the day everything that happens in the legal space will eventually come to his office and we came to appeal to him to help us let Mr. President know that all the leaders in the South East feel that the release of Nnamdi Kanu will help in dousing all the tensions and everything that is going on in the South East and we are certain that his duty as the AGF also gives him the powers of making sure that litigations don’t continue and the sufferings of the people of South east continue.
 
“As you know that several other groups in the South East including the governors of the South East have all been making the same kind of plea. We think that this will help us to bring to an end all the insecurity in the South East,” he said.
