Founder\/Leader of the Biafra Independence Movement\/Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, BIM\/MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has renewed his earlier call to the outgoing President Mohamadu Buhari, to free the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently being detained in the custody of the Directorate of State Services, DSS, on or before his May 29 handover date.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nUwazuruike in a press statement issued on his behalf by the Director of Information\/ Senior Special Assistant to BIM\/MASSOB on Media and Publicity,\u00a0 Mazi Chris Anierobi Mocha,\u00a0 stressed that affecting the quick release of the Pro- Biafra activist, would no doubt, serve as a\u00a0 parting gift to the South East region which is Igbo land.<\/p>\n

Worried by the continued detention of Kanu even after several courts of competent jurisdictions had ordered for his unconditional release but was disobeyed by the executive arm of government, the BIM\/MASSOB leader described such action of the federal government as\u00a0 a\u00a0 total disregard to the rule of law and a\u00a0 violation of the Nigerian Constitution.<\/p>\n

Uwazuruike who holds the traditional title of Ijele Ndigbo (the biggest masquerade in Igbo land), however\u00a0 urged Buhari not to leave the release of Kanu to the incoming government as it might seem as if the exercise is all about bulk passing.<\/p>\n

\u201cListening to this my special appeal will be seen to be following the\u00a0 democratic principles and norms\u201d, he posited.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
