Founder of the One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, said he would help secure the release of detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu if agitators end Biafra radio operations and suspend sit-at-home actions, insisting that political negotiations are the only viable route.
He stated, “Anybody who is accused of doing such a thing (terrorism) is sentenced to death. It is only out of grace that Kanu was able to escape,” adding that supporters “should stop the Biafra radio wherever it is. Secondly, the sit-at-home order should be stopped, and the judgment should be accepted while the Igbo elders go behind the scenes to analyse and explain to the President.”
Maharaj maintained that meeting these conditions would create room for behind-the-scenes mediation, saying, “When those are done, I know how to watch it out, Kanu will come out. I will help facilitate his release.”
His remarks come as Abia State Governor Alex Otti and other South-East leaders intensify political efforts to secure Kanu’s freedom following his life sentence for terrorism-related offences.
