Metuh Appeals To Malami To Ensure Release Of Nnamdi Kanu

Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh has appealed to the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF and minister of justice Abubakar Malami, SAN, to use his good offices to ensure the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

The appeal was upon the Court of Appeal judgment that freed him of the charges levelled against him by the Federal Government.

Metuh in the open letter to Malami dated October 14, 2022 and made available to GWG.NG said that the release of Nnamdi Kanu would immediately lower tension in the Southeast and the whole country.

He said:

NNAMDI KANU: AN APPEAL TO THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF JUSTICE

I write most respectfully to appeal for the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu following the judgement of Court of Appeal, Abuja.

A lot of Nigerians had always urged for a political solution to the Nnamdi Kanu issue, but the Federal Government of Nigeria had insisted otherwise. Now that the Appellate Court has pronounced so clearly on this matter, the Federal Government is expected to duly comply accordingly.

History beckons on the President to transcend legalism and harken instead to a reassuring and statesmanlike pragmatism with special reference to cases and situations such as this delicate matter of Nnamdi Kanu.

As the longest serving Attorney-General of the Federation in history, I implore you to use your wealth of experience, exposure and knowledge to advise Mr. President and the Federal Government to take advantage of the Court of Appeal judgement and enthrone lasting peace in the South East Zone and strengthen the unity of the nation.

It is incontrovertible that the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will lead the way to minimising armed conflicts, kidnapping and civil unrest in the South East and its environs. It is even envisaged that such a release will douse tension in the entire country especially at this critical time.

History beckons, Learned Silk. May God grant you the courage, wisdom and understanding to seek this golden path.

Yours Faithfully,

Chief Olisa Metuh.

GWG.NG reports that the move by Metuh follows the assertion by Malami that the court judgment in favour of Nnamdi Kanu would not lead to his release.
