The Governor of Imo State has issued a strong warning to President Bola Tinubu, insisting that Nnamdi Kanu must not be released under any circumstances. According to the governor, Kanu poses a serious threat to Nigeria and his administration, and keeping him in detention is essential for maintaining security in the Southeast region.
“Kanu’s release will destabilize the Southeast and threaten national security. His continued detention is necessary to prevent further unrest and ensure peace in the region,” the governor reportedly stated.
This statement comes amid growing pressure from international bodies and political figures, including a key ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently called for Kanu’s release and warned of possible sanctions against Nigeria if he remains in custody.
