Nigerian socialite and businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has joined the growing call for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Cubana Chiefpriest made this appeal in an Instagram post on November 19, highlighting the challenges faced by the Igbo people due to Kanu’s continued detention.

According to him, since Kanu’s arrest in June 2021, insecurity in the South East has escalated, making it unsafe for many people to visit their hometowns. He pointed out that numerous lives have been lost and properties destroyed, leaving the region in turmoil.

Cubana Chiefpriest believes that Nnamdi Kanu’s release is the key to restoring peace and stability in the South East. His statement aligns with the views of former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, who also advocates for Kanu’s release.

‘’@senator_akpabio Those Plea From Owelle Ndi Igbo Is All We Ask For Our Dear Inlaw, Let OHAMADIKE Ndi Igbo, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Come Back Home Soon, It’s Almost Five Years Now We All Have Not Had Access To Our Home Town, Only His Release Can Restore Peace Back In Our Region.

We Have Lost So Much Lives & Properties We Need To Build Back SouthEast ASAP Make Una Help Us.”

Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021, facing charges related to treason. The case has drawn attention to the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the growing unrest in the region.
