Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, has called on President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Speaking on Friday, Pastor Giwa said freeing Kanu would help restore peace and stability in the Southeast region.

He argued that if the president could grant pardon to criminals, there was no justification for continuing to keep Kanu in detention.

In a statement he issued, the clergyman said: “Let me advise and beg President Bola Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency free Nnamdi kanu from incarceration.

“If the federal government could pardon criminals who had killed a good number of people, there is a need to free Kanu from prison.

“I’m made to understand that the Appeal court in Abuja under Justice Oludotun Adebola had in 2022 discharged and acquitted the embattled leader of the proscribed group.

“I consider his continued incarceration as injustice, cruelty, and politics.

“President Tinubu should set him free to allow peace to reign. Peace is essential for achieving great results because it reduces stress, improves focus, and fosters a mindset that supports creativity and better decision-making.”
