  1. in as much as we want kanu relised, we as much want refferendum, the Igbo are no the broom used to bound Nigeria.

  2. A terrorist like Kanu shouldn’t have to be released without facing the full wrath of the law. This will serve as a lesson to others.
    The so-called Igbo group have call him to order and taught him the importance of respecting the law of the land.

  3. I congratulate the Igbo leaders who went to the president to ask for the release of the Igbo hero NNAMDI KANU but I am sorry b/c Mr president Will not listen to them when we went to sokoto for father Hassan kuka’s ordination as the Bishop of sokoto church so I know him closely.the only way now for KANU to be release is to become a muslem.

  4. The fear is that he will again leave or go against elders Instructions and escape,he did it to Abaribe when he stood in as hi surety, well is nice if he release.
