The Ndigbo Unity Forum (NUF) has called on President Bola Tinubu to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, in a bid to address the ongoing unrest in the South-East region.

According to the group, Kanu’s prolonged detention has significantly contributed to the region’s instability, including the persistent Monday sit-at-home protests. These disruptions have had a devastating impact on the region’s economy and education sector, resulting in substantial financial losses and academic setbacks.

The NUF criticized previous administrations for disregarding appeals from prominent Igbo leaders for Kanu’s release. The group emphasized that the South-East region, once known for its peace and stability, has faced escalating challenges since Kanu’s arrest.
