‘He should face the law’: Asari Dokubo doesn’t want FG to release Nnamdi Kanu

Prominent Niger Delta leader and former agitator, Mujahid Asari Dokubo, on Friday, in Abuja, urged the federal government not to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

He argued that his (Kanu) release would not ease the tensions in the South-East. Rather, it would fuel impunity.

Dokubo stated this while speaking with the State House Correspondent after his closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

“During EndSars, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of EndSars. Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have died? This is a criminal. He should face the law.

“Releasing Nnamdi Kanu is rewarding criminality and rewarding gruesome murder of innocent people. He should face the law for the actions and instigations he has carried out.”

Friday’s meeting is part of the President’s ongoing consultations with opinion leaders from the Niger Delta region.
