The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on kidnapping, assassinations and banditry of Abia communities, has called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the Indigenous People of Biafra leader.
The Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee, Obinna Aguocha made this known in Abuja.
The communities are Isiukwuato and Umunnochi Local Government Areas of the state.
Aguocha called for the unconditional release of Kanu from detention to serve as a panacea for peace, improve economic growth and opportunities, as well as ending the unproductive sit-at-home order in the South-East.
He said it was imperative for the government to recognise the rule of law, justice and equitable inclusion of the South East zone in the project, Nigeria.
Amobi Ogah, the sponsor of the motion, alleged that, “instead of combing the bushes to flush out criminals as demanded by the House, through its resolution, the police seemed to be the major threat”.
Ogah said of all the prayers, including setting up a joint security task force to comb the bushes, rather, there are multiple police checkpoints, which constitutes embarrassment in the region.
