LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – The family of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has finally revealed those blocking the release of their son.
According to Kanunta, the younger brother of the IPOB leader, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma and some of his friends in the Southeast are the ones preventing the release.
“@Govhopeuzodinma is the one blocking the release of #MaziNnamdiKanu from DSS dungeon with few of his friends in SE and my question to @officialABAT is Gov Uzodinma the president of Nigeria or is your government benefitting from the insecurity in SE through your security chiefs?” Kanunta wrote on microblogging site, X (formerly known as Twitter).

Kanu has been in detention at the Department of State Security (DSS) headquarters since 2021 following his arrest in Kenya and subsequent extradition to Nigeria.
Since his return to Nigeria, the appeal court had discharged and acquitted the IPOB leader of all charges levelled against him by the Nigerian government.
However, the Supreme Court upturned the judgment while ordering the Federal High Court to revisit the trial.
