Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has expressed hope that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, will be released from detention \u2018very soon\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ohanaeze\u2019s national spokesperson, Dr Alex Ogbonnia, made the remark while reacting to the Abuja Federal High Court ruling denying Kanu bail.<\/p>\n

Recall that Justice Binta Nyako, on Tuesday, denied Kanu\u2019s bail application and ordered an accelerated hearing of the Federal Government\u2019s seven-count charge against the IPOB leader.<\/p>\n

The judge also adjourned Kanu\u2019s trial to April 17, 2024.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Ogbonnia urged supporters of the IPOB leader to be patient and avoid any act that would lead to the destruction of life and property.<\/p>\n

A statement by the Ohanaeze spokesman reads: \u201cToday, Tuesday, March 19th, 2024, the Federal High Court Abuja deliberated on the case of our Son and Brother Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerian youths expected that he would be granted bail after spending several months in incarceration. This case has been adjourned until 17 April 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to appeal to all Nigerian Youths to exercise some patience and avoid any act that would lead to the destruction of life and property. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has made it very clear on many occasions that he will not support any act of arson or bloodshed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe trust in the divine providence of Almighty God, and by God\u2019s grace, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be free from incarceration very soon. I appeal to everyone to be patient.\u201d<\/p>\n
