NCF Begs Tinubu To Grant Abbah Kayri, Nnamdi Kanu Amnesty

 

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  fore-front 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 the some parts of South East could be attributed to 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  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 for 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 have 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.
