The founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, has vowed to get the detained leader of the outlawed Igbo group, Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, released if the Biafra radio and sit-at-home order are stopped.
Maharaj Ji revealed this while speaking in an interview granted to his temple’s in-house radio on Wednesday.
He claimed that the IPOB leader was responsible for the terrorism accusations made against him and that anyone found guilty faces the death penalty.
He said, “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 (Nnamdi 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. Secondly, the sit-at-home order should be stopped, and the judgment should be accepted while the Igbo elders go behind the scenes to analyse and explain to the President.
“Today, the Igbos have been brought to the central realms of politics by Tinubu. And the Northern caliphate is not happy about it. They are not excited about the commission they were given…They should stop the propaganda that the East is about to be Islamised. When those are done, I know how to watch it out, Kanu will come out. I will help facilitate his release.“
The cleric joined the likes of Abia State governor, Alex Otti, activist Omoyele Sowore, and other South-East leaders to increase efforts to obtain the release of jailed Nnamdi Kanu through a political agreement, assuring inhabitants of the region that “all hope is not lost.”
On Tuesday, Otti met Tinubu in the State House, Abuja, after visiting Nnamdi Kanu at the Sokoto prison facility, where the IPOB leader is serving his sentence.
Otti’s meeting with the President is believed to be part of ongoing engagements aimed at securing the release of the detained Kanu.
Recall that Kanu got a life sentence instead of the death penalty after the presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, gave down the judgement on counts one, two, four, five, and six.
