The Nigerian Consultative Forum (NCF) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately release unconditionally Abbah, Kayri a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) rtd, and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra incarcerated for years now
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the Federal Capital, Dede Uzor A. Uzor, Chairman, and Dr. Frank Udemadu, Secretary General, on behalf of the group, said their call was necessitated by security reasons and their influence in their respective regions.
It would be recalled that before the arrest of DCP Abbah Kayri for over two years now, he has been in the forefront of hunting down hardened criminals, some of them were bandits, Unknown Gunmen, kidnappers, and other advanced criminal activities in different parts of the country.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the group said, has a lot of admirers and supporters who are still aggrieved by his continued detention.
The current wave of insecurity in some parts of the South East could be attributed to the continuous detention of the Biafran leader.
NCF contended that the release of the duo would automatically bring peace and stabilise the country as well as reduce tension presently being experienced in some parts of the country.
DCP Kayri’s release, NCF said, would help him to bring his enormous and professional knowledge as security czar to engage these bandits holding the country hostage, a feat he proved when he was in office.
Kanu, on his part, said NCF, would call those his supporters to order, and in the next 24 hours of his release, the entire South East would be quiet.
“NCF is of the opinion that the Federal Government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should use his good office to direct the immediate release of these persons as the father of the nation, since Kayri and Kanu have overstayed their supposedly jail terms if they were actually convicted”.
Each of them has spent nearly five years in detention.
They said President Tinubu would write his name in gold if these two citizens were allowed to go home by granting them amnesty.
The group further asked the president not to allow detractors and politicians who see their release as tools of propaganda and an avenue to swindle the nation for their personal financial gains.
“History will write your name in gold if they are unconditionally and unequivocally released,” said NCF.
