Dele Momodu Backs Calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s Release!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
Media mogul and publisher of Ovation International, Dele Momodu, has joined growing voices urging the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
What We Know:
- Speaking during a live interview on Monday, Momodu said Kanu’s prolonged detention poses more risks to national unity than his release.
- He urged President Tinubu to demonstrate statesmanship by initiating a political resolution to the IPOB leader’s case.
- Kanu has been in DSS custody since his re-arrest in 2021 and is facing charges including terrorism and treasonable felony.
Quote:
“Nigeria has more to gain from dialogue than detention. Releasing Nnamdi Kanu could de-escalate tensions in the South-East,”
— Dele Momodu
Why It Matters:
- The call aligns with appeals from traditional rulers, religious leaders, and South-East governors for a political solution.
- Tensions in the South-East remain high, with frequent sit-at-home protests linked to Kanu’s incarceration.
- Momodu’s influence in media and politics may amplify pressure on the presidency.
What to Watch:
- Federal Government’s response or silence.
- Possible legal updates from Kanu’s defence team.
- Reaction from IPOB and South-East stakeholders.
