Monday Ubani, a former second national vice-president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB).

Kanu is being held in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on terrorism charges, and was denied bail for the umpteenth time on Tuesday.

Ubani said Kanu has suffered long enough in custody, adding that the best thing for all parties would be a political solution to the problem.

“I have been one of the greatest advocates for the release and political solution to Nnamdi Kanu’s incarceration,” he said.

“I am of the firm belief that he should be granted bail. I also aired the view that this matter can be politically sorted out by the president. That will be the end of the crisis.”

Asked to comment on Kanu’s claim that insecurity in the south-east will end within two minutes of his release, Ubani said those using Kanu’s continued detention to foment trouble may likely desist upon his release.

“As to whether his release will automatically end all the insecurity crises in the south-east, I can’t say that with every bit of assurance,” he said.

“But I know that there are those who hide under the Nnamdi Kanu incarceration to unleash mayhem on innocent people in the south-east. So, maybe those hiding under his incarceration to cause trouble may cease if he is released.

“I believe he should be released from jail. He has suffered enough. We should be able to give a political solution to the crisis.

“I know that some of the insecurity crises can cease if he is released. But I may not be able to say that if he is out, every insecurity in the region will cease.

“If there is anything that Tinubu should do for the south-eastern region, it is to get Kanu released and probably find a political solution to his incarceration.”

He is lucky no be Russia

Cyberterror:
Why do Igbos think that they are smarter than other Nigerians? Ubani and his cohorts begging for Kanu's release have not begged the terrorist to drop his seccessionist agenda which is a serious crime that no government tolerates all over the world.

mohbadliveson:
Sowore is now free
Igboho is now free
Free the poor guy and let him go meet his wife

Buccalcavity2:

Did Sowore and Igboho instruct anyone to kill Soldiers? We shout Justice and Equity on one hand and tolerate injustice on the other. How can we ask commander in Chief, whose officers were killed on the instruction of one man to politically forget the death of his officers. That's injustice to the CinC and the family of the soldiers!

Paraman:
He has not suffered at all. He's lucky he's in a sane country like Nigeria, he would have being dead and forgotten by now if he tried the shit he did with Putin.

HardBishop:

Dead and forgotten, while another notorious agitator will emerge.
Una no dey serious and thinking you can tame Igbo man wild nature.... Infact we don't deserve to mingle with the rest of u people

helinues:
