’Don’t beg Nigerian govt for my release, I didn’t commit any crime’, Kanu tells Igbo politicians

Detained leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has called on Igbo political leaders to desist from begging the Nigerian government to release him as he did not commit any crime that warranted his arrest and detention in the first place.

Kanu’s call came on the heels of appeals by prominent Igbo politicians and leaders like Anambra State governor, Charles Soludo, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ben Kalu, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, among others, who have made appeals to President Bola Tinubu to release the IPOB leader.

But in a statement released on Saturday by his Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu said he did not send anybody to beg the government for his release.
