President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that he will not order the release of leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The President, who stated this in an exclusive interview with ChannelsTV, said this is because he would not interfere with the judiciary.
“There is one institution that I wouldn’t interfere with; that is the judiciary. Kanu’s case is with the judiciary but what I wonder is when Kanu was safely in Europe, abusing this administration and mentioning too many things, I thought he wants to come and defend himself on the accusations.
“So, we are giving him an opportunity to defend himself in our system, not to be abusing us from Europe as if he was not a Nigerian. Let him come here with us and then criticise us here. Nigerians know that I don’t interfere with the judiciary, let him be listened to. But those who are saying that he should be released, no, we cannot release him.”
