You don't belong here, Kalu tells Kanu in Kuje prison
He promised so, and did so. Former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu on Friday, paid a visit to Nnamdi Kanu, the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB.
Uzor Kalu, who shared pictures from the visit on the social media platform, said the Biafra leader who he called his brother, does not belong in Kuje prison, stating that his freedom was of utmost concern to him.
“Today, I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kuje Prison and we engaged in a very long discussion. Kanu is my brother and a son of the soil. He shouldn’t be where he is because Kuje Prison is not his home.
“It is therefore my utmost concern to see him regain his freedom like every other Nigerian,” Kalu wrote.
Kanu, had in a recent protest of Justice Binta Nyako’s decision to shield witnesses that would testify against him, said the country will collapse when he gives his testimony in court.
“Buhari went on national television to accuse me in public and he wants to try me in secret. I will not allow myself to be subjected to this kind of trial.
“By the time I am through with my testimony there will be no Nigeria. What kind of secret trial? This is not a Sharia Court but common law court,” he had said.
He is facing 11-counts of treason and terrorism brought against him by the federal government and has been in detention since October 2015 when he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Lagos.
