The Special Task Force for the release of detained leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB, Mr Mnamdi KANU has written President Bola Tinubu on the need for political solution to release the secessionist leader. In a letter to President Tinubu the Special Task Force stated that “Before the Court appearance of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on 19th March, 2024, most of the Ndi Igbo opinion leaders were optimistic that he would be discharged and acquitted by the Court on that day.
“The disappointment of the unmet expectations led to the spontaneous constitution of this “Taskforce For the Release Of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.” The members of the Taskforce are:
“The Chairman of Southeast Traditional Rulers Council and Chairman of the Taskforce, Igwe Lawrence Agubuzu OFR (Chairman); Archbishop of Methodist Church, Umuahia, Diocese, His Grace, Raphael Opoko (Co-Chair); Eze Akajiofor Ndi Igbo and Traditional Ruler of Enugwu-Aguleri, Eze Chukwuemeka Eri (Co-Chair); Archbishop of Anglican Communion, Owerri Province, His Grace, Sunday Onuoha; Chairman Ndi Eze Igbo of 19 Northern Stares, Eze Dr. Uche Egenti; Eze Igbo Maitama, Abuja, Eze David Kingston Okey-Dede; Igwe Obatobie 1 of Abuja,
The Executive Secretary of the Taskforce is Barr.

Prince Emmanuel Kanu, youngest brother of the IPOB Leader, and other members.
“We want to use this platform and opportunity to appeal to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, GCFR, to use his good offices to facilitate the release of our son.
” The challenge of achieving this objective of ‘Freedom for Nnamdi Kanu’ is more political than legal. This is why we believe that the President can and should kindly make it happen.
” Nnamdi Kanu is a patriot who wants the best for his people and for Niger
