“Don’t Release Nnamdi Kanu” — Asari Dokubo to Pres. Tinubu

Prominent Niger Delta leader, Asari Dokubo, has urged president Bola Tinubu against releasing the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu, who is standing trial for t£rrorism, has been in custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since his re-arrest in 2021.

Recall that a Federal High Court in Abuja had granted him bail in 2017 but he flouted the bail conditions and subsequently fled the country.

Speaking with reporters after a close door meeting with the president on Friday, June 16, Dokubo said releasing Kanu will be tantamount to rewarding crimin@lity, adding that he should be made to face the law.

“His release would fuel impunity; during EndSars, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of EndSars. Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have di£d? This is a criminal. He should face the law.

Releasing Nnamdi Kanu is rewarding crimin@lity and rewarding gruesome m¥rder of innocent people. He should face the law for the actions and instigations he has carried out,” he said.
