…As Biafra Elders Hold Memorial for Late Parents

By Steve Oko

The family of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has accused South East governors of not doing enough to secure his release.

Speaking on Friday in Umuahia during a memorial in honor of their late parents, HRM Eze Israel and Ugoeze Sally Kanu, Prince Emmanuel Kanu expressed disappointment over the governors’ lack of concrete action.

He alleged that the governors had not shown genuine commitment to securing Kanu’s freedom, questioning why they had failed to meet the conditions reportedly set by President Bola Tinubu for his release.

“South East governors are not doing enough to secure the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. It’s either they are complicit or something else,” he said.

Prince Kanu further challenged the governors to seek an audience with the President, stating that their inaction raises concerns about their sincerity.

“The big question is: Why have they not met with Mr. President on Nnamdi Kanu? Information available to us is that Mr. President asked them to fulfill certain conditions,” he stated.

The memorial event was attended by prominent Biafra elders and supporters who reiterated calls for Kanu’s unconditional release.
