The former Niger Delta Militant leader, Asari Dokubo has urged President Bola Tinubu to let the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu remain in custody.
Today’s meeting is part of the President’s ongoing consultations with opinion leaders from the Niger Delta region.
Dokubo stated this after a closed-door meeting with the President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, Abuja on Friday.
He argued that the release of Nnamdi Kanu, would not ease the tensions in the South-East. Rather, it would fuel impunity.
“During EndSars, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of EndSars. Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have died? This is a criminal. He should face the law.
“Releasing Nnamdi Kanu is rewarding criminality and rewarding gruesome murder of innocent people. He should face the law for the actions and instigations he has carried out,” Dokubo quoted from the Punch.
