Ekohotblog reports that the lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Ifeanyi Ubah, has said that the immediate release of the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu will end the spate of insecurity in the South-East geo-political zone of the country.

Ubah made the call in Lagos, according to a statement issued by his media aide, Kamen Ogbonna, in Abuja, on Thursday.

Ubah, who spoke during his engagements with Ndi Anambra businessmen at the Alaba International Market in Lagos, said that the team had robust discussions and exchanges of ideas on the various issues surrounding the development of the South East.

The statement is titled, ‘Senator Ubah calls on Federal Government to review arrest, detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’.

The Senator, who is contesting the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, specifically urged the Federal Government to critically examine issues surrounding the arrest and detention of Kanu.

Part of the statement read, “In the course of the conversation, some youth leaders used the opportunity of the visit to express their sadness to the Senator over the raging issue of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s detention and pleaded with Ubah to intervene in the matter.

“The Senator in his response assured them that there are ongoing efforts behind the scene to find a political solution to the problem.

“He also promised to relay their message to the Federal Government with regards to the need to review the case and to treat the issue as vital especially since some opposition party players had cashed in on that, to create artificial insecurity in Anambra State and trigger voter apathy in the process as a cover for writing results illegally.

“It is our firm belief that this burning issue should not in any way be politicised, but rather should be given the due attention that it requires.

“We strongly believe that if the Federal Government finds a political solution to the Nnamdi Kanu issue, the present insecurity in Anambra State will come to an abrupt end as the politically sponsored bandits killing people under this guise will have no further excuse at their disposal.”
