Kanu family slams S’East govs for not doing enough to get him released
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.
Prince Emmanuel Kanu spoke Friday on behalf of the family in Umuahia during a memorial in honour of their late parents, HRM Eze Israel, and Ugoeze Sally Kanu.
He said the governors had not demonstrated genuine commitment towards Nnamdi Kanu’s freedom.
He wondered why the governors had not met with the condition given to them by President Bola Tinubu, arguing that if truly they were sincerely committed to his release, they would have sought an audience with the President over his case.
He said, “South-East governors are not doing enough to secure the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“It’s either they are complicit or something. The big question is: Why have they not met with Mr President on Nnamdi Kanu?
“The information available to us is that Mr President asked them to meet with him officially over the matter but up till now they haven’t done so.
“Are the governors benefiting from the unrest in the South-East or what? What are they afraid of? Free Nnamdi Kanu today and all this tension in the South-East will fizzle out in 24 hours because we will now know those hiding under the guise of the agitation for his release to perpetrate crime in the region.”
On the indefinite adjournment of Kanu’s trial, the family said Justice Binta Nyako, no longer had jurisdiction to preside over Kanu’s trial having earlier recused herself from the matter.
Kanu’s family also wondered why Justice Nyako would choose to adjourn the matter indefinitely, asking what her interest was in the matter.

“Why is she trying to force herself in the case? Does she have interest in the matter? We have said it severally that she is biased. She has turned down every application to relocate Nnamdi Kanu to prison custody instead of the DSS cell where they have held him for years under severe conditions”.
The family, therefore, called on the international community to prevail on the Nigerian authorities to release the IPoB leader who, it insisted, committed no crime to be incarcerated.
