Soludo Visits Nnamdi Kanu; Says Kanu Condemned “Enforcement Of Senseless Sit-at-Home” Order

By Gideon Njoku

Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo has scored a first. He has registered as the first Governor from the South East to visit the Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at his detention facility in Abuja.

The Governor, in a post said he visited Kanu on Friday, May 13, 2022, where they had a “frank discussion in a convivial atmosphere.”

He said the visit to Kanu was not only to felicitate with him, but as “part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the South-east.”

Soludo Said that Kanu, who was in high spirits, “expressed sadness over what he described as ‘sacrilegious killings’ of innocent persons, kidnappings and all sorts 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.”

Here is the full text of Professor Soludo’s post on Saturday, May 14, 2022.

“I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu  yesterday, (Friday 13th May, 2022) to felicitate with him and also as part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the South East.

“He was in very high spirits and we had quality and frank discussions in a convivial atmosphere.

“He 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.

“He assured that if the opportunity arises, he will be glad to personally broadcast to his followers to maintain the peace.

“Together, we shall restore peace, security and prosperity in Anambra and the South-east.  It is well indeed!

CC Soludo, CFR.”

Kanu has been in the Federal Government custody since June 2021 when he was brought back from Nairobi, Kenya. He is being prosecuted by the Federal Government on allegations of sundry issues  including terrorism and treasonable felony.
