BREAKING! Buhari To Release Nnamdi Kanu, Okah, Others Soon But If…

 

BUHARI TO RELEASE HENRY OKAH, NNAMDI KANU, EDMUND EBIWARE, OTHERS SOON In a statement issued today, the Movement for the
Emancipation
of the Niger Delta (MEND) claimed that a team negotiating on behalf of the Federal Government for a return of peace to the oil-rich delta had agreed to release several detained or imprisoned militants, including Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Henry Okah, a MEND chieftain serving a jail sentence in South Africa, Charles Okah, and Obi Nwabueze.
The statement disclosed that Mr. Kanu and other detained IPOB activists would be released on condition that they renounce their agitation for secession. According to MEND, ex- Senator Adolphus Wabara had introduced the compromise to secure the release of the pro-Biafran agitators. MEND also stated that the government’s negotiators had agreed not to arrest or harass fugitive ex- MEND militant, Government Ekpemupolo (popularly known as Tompolo), “whenever he makes himself available as a delegate of the MEND Aaron Team 2.” In addition, the group stated that the government would review the life sentence meted out on Edmund Ebiware.
MEND declared itself the only militant group from the Niger Delta region presently engaged in a
dialogue with the Federal Government of Nigeria, adding that oil companies and security agencies were representing the government in talks aimed at brokering peace in the region which has witnessed increasing attacks on oil facilities since President Muhammadu Buhari came to power in May 2015.
