Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has pleaded that the killings in the South-East should stop.
He also demanded the timely release of Mrs. Ukamaka Ejezie, a newspaper vendor popularly known as ‘Mama Biafra’ in Abia State.
The IPOB leader said this when his younger brother, Emmanuel Kanu visited him in the Department of State Services custody.
Emmanuel stated that his brother “does not believe in bloodshed”, adding that Nnamdi Kanu was not happy that bloodsuckers are on the loose in the South-East almost unchallenged.
Kanu was also quoted as saying that all those behind the current killings in the South-East must be held accountable for their atrocities.
According to his junior brother, Mama Biafra, a septuagenarian was arrested during Kanu’s last court appearance in Abuja on May 18.
The old woman, Kanu said, committed no crime for coming to Abuja to solidarize with him at the court when she was arrested, regretting that, “I saw her at the DSS detention cell after her clothes were washed and spread on the wall. I demand that she be released because she committed no crime.
“She is an old woman and since my mother died I have taken her as my mother. The DSS should release her.”
