The Special Task Team also
received signals from presidency sources that the second letter to President
Tinubu dated May 21st , 2024 appealing for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, is
receiving attention and some responses has been given.
The Special Task Force asks the Igbo
public, IPOB factions and splinter groups not to behave in a manner capable
of truncating the extent of the political solution.
The Special Task Force is aware that
some elements within IPOB are in the habit of instigating crisis,
bloodshed and sundry vices aimed at truncating any effort towards a
political solution and keeping the IPOB leader in perpetual detention.
The Task Force advises such persons not
to give IPOB further negative perception by unguarded utterances and
thoughtless actions.
The Task Force appreciates the
support Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu gives the group to ensure that Nnamdi
Kanu is released.
