Amaechi warned that Ndigbo would react if anything happens to Kanu while in custody, adding that the IPOB leader had committed no crime.

The foremost nationalist urged the government to ensure that Kanu gets a fair trial.

Ameachi also questioned the sincerity of the Buhari government in its handling of security challenges bedevilling the country, he wondered why the government has not done anything to rein in the terrorists and bandits wreaking havoc in the north.

“Nnamdi Kanu has not committed any offence and if anybody thinks that he has committed any offence, let him be taken to court and be given a fair trial. Nobody, I say it again, nobody should beat or maltreat him, otherwise Ndigbo will react.
