The Governor of Anambra State, Prof Charles Soludo, has revealed that after his visit with the detained leader of the proscribed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra land (IPOB) at the headquarters of the Department of State Security (DSS) on 13th May 2022, for a broader consultation to ensure lasting peace in the eastern region, that Kanu was not pleased over “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 quotes “I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu 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 disclosed in a post on his Facebook page Saturday night.
He said the IPOB leader promised to ‘personally’ prevail on his followers, through a broadcast, to maintain peace whenever he gets the opportunity to interact with them.
“Together, we shall restore peace, security and prosperity in Anambra State and the South-east”, the governor noted.
Prof Soludo expressed hope for an imminent restoration of peace, security, and prosperity in Anambra and the South East.
