Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, Southeast Nigeria, has visited the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu in detention.
Gatekeepers News reports that Soludo said the visit, which was to felicitate Kanu, was also part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the Southeast.
The Anambra State Governor who disclosed this in a statement he personally signed said, “He (Kanu) was in very high spirits and we (Soludo and Kanu) had quality and frank discussion in a very convivial atmosphere.”
“He (Kanu) 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 further noted that the IPOB leader promised to personally broadcast to his followers to maintain peace if the opportunity arises.
