I’ve Activated Strategy To Secure Nnamdi Kanu’s Release -Gov Otti

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has announced that steps are underway to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Otti stated that the plan was first initiated during Kanu’s trial.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday sentenced Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment for terrorism.

Justice James Omotosho found him guilty on several counts, including inciting violence, belonging to a proscribed organisation, and threatening attacks on Nigerian and foreign targets.

Reacting in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, the governor said, “While Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is free to appeal his conviction, I am pleased to inform you that I have activated, and will continue to implement, the agreed strategy until his freedom is secured.”

He added that he had also briefed key authorities in the country on some of the agreements reached during his visit to Kanu while he was in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.

Otti, who criticised the authorities for their initial mishandling of IPOB grievances, called for peace and emphasised that political solutions would be leveraged to resolve the matter permanently.

“The poor management of the IPOB issue in its early stages created the challenges we face today. We cannot allow it to fester and escalate into a larger, more dangerous crisis,” he noted with concern.
