There were reports that Buhari ordered the release of the IPOB leader from detention.<\/p>\n

Kanu has been incarcerated since 2021 June, when he was arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The IPOB leader was arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako-led Federal High Court sitting in Abuja upon return to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The IPOB leader was arraigned on charges bordering on terrorism.<\/p>\n

But, reports surfaced online that the President ordered the release of the IPOB leader.<\/p>\n

However, IPOB\u2019s spokesman, Emma Powerful, dismissed such reports.<\/p>\n

In a chat with DAILY POST, Powerful said: \u201cThat is April fool and IPOB will not be moved by mere talk without action, IPOB is bigger than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
