Asari Dokubo also called on the Federal Government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu who is currently being detained at the Kuje Prison in Abuja on charges of treason.

“Kanu did not commit any crime by calling for self-determination and he should be freed,” the ex-militant said, according to the Daily Sun.

“It is never a crime to call for self-determination, thus, he should be freed. Biafrans have to put away their differences and make sure he comes out. When I was in detention, Igbo came together to bring me out. Nnamdi has done tremendously well and has shown resoluteness in the Biafra struggle. Our goal is our independence and the good of our people.

“IPOB should extend their campaign to every region in Biafraland and not just Igboland. The Biafra gospel should be preached everywhere and people should be told why they should fearlessly join in this movement. It is our collective responsibilities that will make Biafra restoration a success.

“The Biafra struggle is for everyone and no one can do it all alone, thus, everyone should do away with differences and come together to make sure Kanu is freed and Biafra is restored. Leadership should not be our interest now; everyone should focus on our goal, which is the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra.

“Any Biafran who wants to deny the fact that Kanu catalysed this quest for Biafra independence is lying to himself; it is an obvious truth. This is not time to nurse grudges against one another so that our enemies will not take advantage of it and then use it against us. I urge every Biafran to be strong and also call for the release of our brother, Kanu,” he said.

Kanu has been in detention since his arrest in October 2015 and pro-Biafra supporters have held several protests to demand his release.
