Father Ejike Mbaka and President Muhammadu Buhari.
Father Mbaka has tabled a fresh request before Buhari.
Newsone reports that the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry in Enugu, southeast Nigeria, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, has requested for the release of the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari.
This online news platform understands that Father Mbaka said he made the request when agents of the of the government (he didn’t mention names) came to him with some offer which he refused.
“Some persons came to me sometime ago, that they have two slot for me. I told them I don’t need such offer because I have a slot that I need. They said I should mention what I need.
“My first request was that they should release Nnamdi Kanu because since you people arrested him, we have lost many lives, so of what use is his arrest if after he was arrested, kidnapping hasn’t stopped in the North, thus, arresting him doesn’t solve the problem.
Father Mbaka also asked “has anybody seen Nnamdi Kanu kill anybody? He’s not a murderer. Have they caught him with guns, so why arrest him?”
Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, the fiery Enugu catholic priest asked where our security agencies were when several students were kidnapped charging the government to use the same energy used in arresting kidnappers.
Father Mbaka also attributed the rise in criminality to the activities of the politicians that purchase arms for them.
The cleric advised the government to use same temerity used in arresting Kanu to arrest insecurity, poverty, unemployment, activities of herdsmen, injustice and pragmatic nepotism.
