The founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, says he will help to free the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, if the Biafra radio and sit-at-home order are stopped.
Maharaj made this vow on Wednesday during an interview on his temple’s in-house radio.
He stated that the IPOB leader was culpable of the terrorism charges levelled against him, and anyone guilty is liable to a death sentence.
“We are, however, grateful that the matter has been put on hold in the sense that, by the accusations, it is always going to be death, looking at the level of crimes attached to him, with the way and manner the constitution is written.
“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. So now it has to be by political settlement before he (Kanu) can be released, and it will be addressed in so many ways.
“For anyone advocating for his pardon, they have to take positive steps. In other words, they must not do so with empty hands; they should stop the Biafra radio wherever it is,” he said.
The Islamic cleric joined the likes of Abia State governor, Alex Otti, activist Omoyele Sowore, and other South-East leaders to intensify efforts to secure Kanu’s release through a political arrangement.
He assured residents of the South-East that “all hope is not lost”.
Recall that Otti on Tuesday met Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, after visiting Kanu in the Sokoto prison facility, where the IPOB leader is serving his sentence.
