The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Thursday, called on the President Muhammadu Buhari to release the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, from detention. The group also called on the president to release all Igbo youth in detention over the agitation for Biafra. Ohanaeze President General, George Obiozor, made the call in his opening address at its meeting held at the Ohanaeze National Secretariat in Enugu. He said such will start from the release of Igbo youth detained in various cells across the country without trial. Reacting to the current security situation pervading the region, the Ohanaeze PG said each geo-political zone has its own peculiarity.
