, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , has accused Igbo leaders and elite of benefitting from the continuous detention of their son.The family tabled their concerns while reacting to the recent refusal of the Federal High Court in Abuja to grant Kanu’s bail application.
The family wondered why some Igbo political leaders now find it difficult to book a meeting with President Bola Tinubu since he took over power. “Is it not deliberate? Have they not been gaining access to the President concerning other issues? It’s a shame that Kanu is being punished for asking for the freedom of Ndigbo and the leaders have abandoned him to die in DSS custody.“Kanu is terribly sick and nobody cares. His health is deteriorating every day. He has not changed his clothes.
“Why should he be abandoned for asking for the freedom of Biafra? He didn’t take up arms against the government, but he was tagged as a terrorist. Yet the same government is busy releasing terrorists from detention.”
