Nigerian governor reveals what will happen in southeast if Nnamdi Kanu is released

  • Governor Chukwuma Soludo has cited one major reason why Nnamdi Kanu’s release will not effect change in the Southeast region
  • Soludo said insecurity plaguing the Southeast is not connected to the genuine Biafran struggle but is driven by organized criminal gangs using the Biafran cause for personal gain
  • The Anambra state governor Soludo argued that Kanu’s release would likely not resolve the crisis, as the criminals who fuel the unrest are more interested in wealth than liberation
