SAN FRANCISCO, December 16, (THEWILL) – Orji Uzor Kalu, former Governor of Abia state, on Friday, paid a visit to Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Kalu, who recently joined the All Progressive Congress (APC) described Kanu as his brother and stated that his freedom was of concern to him.
He shared photos from the visit on social media and revealed that he had a long discussion with Kanu insisting that the Biafra leader does not belong in Kuje prison.
“Today, I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kuje Prison and we engaged in a very long discussion,” Kalu revealed.
“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.”
Kanu 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.
