Anambra State Governor, Charles Chukwuma Soludo has paid a visit to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu at the detention facility where he’s been held in Abuja.
Kanu who is detained by the Department of State Security Services (DSS) welcomes Soludo in a joyous mood.
The visit took place on Friday, May 13 and the Governor himself shared photos with Kanu on his verified social media accounts.
The Governor shared pictures, including one with Kanu embracing him in an Athletico Madrid tracksuit.
The meeting room was not given a location but it had two couches and a map board.
Soludo said the IPOB leader expressed sadness over the killings in the Southeast.
He said Kanu, who was happy to receive him and in high spirits, described the killings as sacrilegious.
According to him: ” I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, (Friday, 13th May, 2022) to felicitate with him and also as part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the South East.
“He was in very high spirits and we had quality and frank discussions in a very convivial atmosphere”.
“He expressed sadness over what he described as “sacrilegious killings” of innocent persons, kidnappings and all forms of criminalities, including the brutal enforcement of the senseless “sit at home” perpetuated by sundry groups claiming to be acting for or on behalf of IPOB”, Soludo said.
The governor said that the IPOB leader reassured him that if given the chance, he would be glad to talk to his followers himself in order to bring peace.
Despite his denial, Kanu was arrested for the alleged crime of terrorism.
