Mike Ejiofor, a former Director of the Department of State Services, DSS has called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Speaking on Thursday, Ejiofor urged President Bola Tinubu to unconditionally release Nnamdi Kanu and seek a political solution to the problems.
Speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show, the former DSS Director called for the prioritization of security challenges in Nigeria.
He lamented that unknown gunmen killing innocent people in the Southeast claim to be fighting for Kanu.
According to Ejiofor: “We should prioritize the issue of our security challenges. There are some that are political, while others require kinetic and non-kinetic approaches.
“For instance, we have achieved a lot in the Northeast, until recently when we started having some isolated cases.
“Look at the Northwest, where you have the issue of Lukarawa, and after their initial appearance, much has not been heard from Lukarawa. And that is because of the activities of both intelligence and security forces.
“When you come to the Southeast, I think the government should take the initiative to find a political solution to the issue in the Southeast, especially with regard to the unknown gunmen and Nnamdi Kanu.
“I will strongly appeal to the government to use this opportunity to unconditionally release Kanu and let us see, because people who are killing innocent people are claiming to be fighting for Kanu, and he has condemned these actions.
“He has spoken out against the sit-at-home and said he’s not in support of it. How can you be fighting for people and, at the same time, destroy their economy and their means of livelihood?”
