The family of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has identified those preventing the release of the Biafra agitator.<\/p>\n

Kanunta, the younger brother of the IPOB leader, said Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and some of his friends in the Southeast are \u201cblocking\u201d Kanu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Kanunta wondered why President Bola Tinubu allowed Uzodinma to block Kanu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

According to Kanunta: \u201c@Govhopeuzodinma is the one blocking the release of #MaziNnamdiKanu from DSS dungeon with few of his friends in SE and my question to @officialABAT is Gov Uzodinma the president of Nigeria or is your government benefitting from the insecurity in SE through your security chiefs?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kanu has been locked up by the Department of State Services, DSS, on the orders of the Nigerian government.<\/p>\n

He has been incarcerated since 2021 following his arrest in Kenya and extraordinary rendition to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Following his return to Nigeria, the appeal court had discharged and acquitted the IPOB leader of all charges levelled against him by the Nigerian government.<\/p>\n

However, the Supreme Court upturned the judgment while ordering the Federal High Court to revisit the trial.<\/p>\n
