Mr. Peter Obi a former governor of Anambra state, has urged the federal government to consider other Biafra detainees languishing in prison custody.
He said he is happy over the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Mr Obi who made this known to journalists through a statement issued by his media aide, said “I wish to appeal to the Judiciary and the Federal Government to equally consider the other Biafra detainees for bail and release since, to the best of my knowledge, they have never resorted to violence in their agitation.
Obi said that the federal government should engage in dialogue with Biafra agitators.
He pointed out that tension will be high in the South East zone over the continued detention of other Biafra activists and the release of Kanu.
As Kanu regains freedom, recall that there are more four conditions given to him by the presiding Justice Nyako Binta of a federal High Court in Abuja, to keep.
These conditions are:
*Must not attend any rally or grant an interview
* Must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 persons
* To surrender his Nigerian and British passports
* Must be available for trial at all times Though he has regained freedom but should be careful of his actions to avoid breaching courts order
