Olisa Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has written an open letter to Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, asking him to unconditionally release separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu, following the judgement of Court of Appeal, Abuja.
Bellnewsonline.com reports that Metuh said Kanu’s release will stop the nefarious activities of the so-called ‘Unknown Gunmen’, and bring “lasting peace” to the southeast region.
“As the longest serving Attorney-General of the Federation in history, I implore you to use your wealth of experience, exposure and knowledge to advise Mr. President and the Federal Government to take advantage of the Court of Appeal judgement and enthrone lasting peace in the South East Zone and strengthen the unity of the nation.
“It is incontrovertible that the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will lead the way to minimising armed conflicts, kidnappings and general civil unrest in the South East and its environs. It is even envisaged that such a release will douse tension in the entire country especially at this critical time,” Metuh’s Open Letter partly read.
