Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria, has said Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is fighting for the South East region and not himself.
The highly-respected cleric also warned the Nigerian Government not to allow anything to happen to Kanu, who is in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to Mbaka, should anything untoward happened to the IPOB leader, there would be more trouble for the country.
Mbaka, who gave the warning during his Sunday homily, added that Kanu should be released immediate.
He said, “The situation is better imagined should he die in custody of the Department of State Services.”
Mbaka added, “I commend IPOB for calling off its Monday sit-at-home protest because the danger of the order is becoming a problem instead of a solution.
“The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is expressing his empathy with the people of the South-East over what they are passing through. He will not wish that suffering to continue. Therefore, nobody should stop anybody from going to his or her business any Monday.
“All of us should keep praying for his release and work towards his freedom because if he dies inside that place, it will cause more trouble. If he comes out, he will come out as a hero.”
