Biafra: Buhari wants to jail Kanu at all cost – MASSOB

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB, has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government of playing politics with the continued detention of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Director Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The National Director of Information, MASSOB, Chief Sunny Okereafor, in an interview in Aba, lamented that Kanu’s detention has assumed a political dimension where the federal government appears determined to jail him at all cost..

According to him, “How can the federal government continue detaining Nnamdi Kanu when he has been granted bail? What is the difference between the first bail granted him and now the one denied him last week by Justice Tsoho? It is all about politics. There is no doubt that the federal government is playing politics with his detention. But MASSOB wants to let them know that they are playing with fire

“How can Nigeria claim to be practicing democracy in this prevailing situation where a court of competent jurisdiction will grant bail only for the federal government to disagree? Since they don’t have evidence to prosecute him, they should set him free. Is it because he is of Igbo stock?
