The statement underscores that releasing Kanu would not only bring an end to the artificial security challenges in the region but also address the economic toll inflicted upon the area.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo estimates losses exceeding 42 trillion naira since Kanu’s incarceration during the Buhari administration, attributing these losses to the security challenges artificially created by criminals exploiting the situation.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo calls on President Bola Tinubu to not only focus on the immediate release of Kanu but also to address past systemic failures that have contributed to the region’s security challenges.
The group emphasizes the need for unity and urges stakeholders to provide support, signaling a collective effort to foster peace and justice in the South East.
