Anambra Governor Charles Soludo has visited Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The visit took place on Friday, according to the governor.
Kanu is being held in a Department of State Security Services (DSS) detention facility in Abuja. It was not exactly clear where the meeting took place but the room had two cushion furniture, tables, television sets and what appeared to be a map board.
Soludo said the IPOB leader expressed sadness over the killings in the Southeast.
He said Kanu, who was happy to receive him and in high spirits, described the killings as sacrilegious.
According to him: ” I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, (Friday, 13th May, 2022) to felicitate with him and also as part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the South East.
“He was in very high spirits and we had quality and frank discussions in a very convivial atmosphere”. “He expressed sadness over what he described as “sacrilegious killings” of innocent persons, kidnappings and all forms of criminalities, including the brutal enforcement of the senseless “sit at home” perpetuated by sundry groups claiming to be acting for or on behalf of IPOB”, Soludo said.
The g6overnor said the IPOB leader, assured that if the opportunity arises, he will be glad to personally broadcast to his followers to maintain the peace.
Kanu was arrested last year and charged with alleged treasonable felony and terrorism, allegations he has continued to deny.
