The Igbo Community in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja has warned President Ahmed Bola Tinubu not to allow the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to die in prison custody under his watch.

The body further noted that the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would remain a distraction on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu administration adding that it is time for him to act fast and grant Kanu freedom.

According to a statement by the President General of Igbo community in Abuja, Engr Ikenna-Ellis Ezenekwe, ?Mr President is a clever and wise politician and he should also show that he is a clever and wise President by ensuring that Kanu is granted freedom.?

?The cries for the release of the freedom fighter, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has begun to reach feverish pitch ? and may begin to pose a distraction to your administration if you fail to act timely.

?Nnamdi Kanu may become your Achilles heel if this unfolding ?free Nnamdi Kanu? protests is not addressed properly in a democratic manner.

?The masses of Nigeria have come to the realization that holding a Nnamdi Kanu for over 4years for no crime that he has been found guilty of, is injustice.

?They also remember how he was abducted from Kenya and brought back to Nigeria by agents of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

?We call on you to use your executive powers and influence to solve this growing problem before it grows out of control.

?You are a clever and wise politician. No doubt about that. But you must also be a clever and wise President. Continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not wise or clever,? he said.
