Mbaka Demands Unconditional Release Of IPOB Leader, Kanu

Fiery Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration
Ministry Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has demanded unconditional
release of leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu.

The cleric also advised the Federal Government to deploy same
vigor with which Kanu was arrested deal with arrest insecurity,
poverty, unemployment, activities of herdsmen, injustice and
pragmatic nepotism.

Mbaka, who was reported to have made the call during a sermon on
Sunday, at his adoration ground, said he made the request when some
government agents whom he did not mention, came calling with some
juicy offers to him which he turned down.

“Some persons came to me sometimes ago, that they have two slots
for me. I told them I don’t need such offer because I have a slot
that I need. They said I should mention what I need,” he began.

“My first request was that they should release Nnamdi Kanu
because since you people arrested him, we have lost many lives, so
of what use is his arrest if after he was arrested, kidnapping
hasn’t stopped in the North, thus, arresting him doesn’t solve the
problem.

“Has anybody seen Nnamdi Kanu kill anybody? He’s not a murderer.
Have they caught him with guns, so why arrest him? Where were the
nation’s security agencies when several students were
kidnapped?”

Mbaka attributed the rise in criminality to activities of
politicians that purchase arms for the thugs during electioneering
period.
