*Both discussed peace, killings, sit-at-home in the South-East
By Okwuchukwu Onummadu
The Governor of Anambra State, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Friday paid a visit to the detained leader of the Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Maria Nnamdi Kanu at a Department of State Services (DSS) facility, as captured it on his (Soludo’s) facebook page.
He wrote thus on the Wall: “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 discussion 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.
“He assured that if the opportunity arises, he will be glad to personally broadcast to his followers to maintain the peace.
“Together, we shall restore peace, security and prosperity in Anambra and the Southeast.
“It is well indeed!,” Soludo wrote.
The IPOB leader is answering to a 15-count treasonable felony charge,which the Federal Government preferred against him.
The charge against him borders on his alleged commission of acts of terrorism, felony, incitement, unlawful importation of a radio transmitter, and headship of an illegal organization.
Trial Justice Binta Nyako had ordered the DSS to allow Kanu to have access to three visitors, two days in the week.
