Father Mbaka reveals what Igbo leaders must do for Nnamdi Kanu [Video]

Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministries, Enugu has slammed Igbo leaders for being silent over the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu.

TopNaija reports that Nnamdi Kanu, who is the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is set to continue his trial on October 21.

The IPOB leader is facing charges at the Federal High Court, Abuja, bordering on terrorism, treason, incitement, amongst others.

Lawmakers from the southeast have recently come out to state that they are working behind the scenes to find a political solution to the continued incarceration of the pro-Biafra activist.

In a video posted on his ministries Facebook page on Friday, Father Mbaka urged Igbo leaders not to abandon Nnamdi Kanu.

He accused some Igbo leaders of refusing to help the IPOB leader because they want favours from the federal government.

Mbaka said: “I don’t know why our leaders who should be talking about their son are shying away from that. Somebody said your son is an evil man [and] should be killed. Will you sign that paper to kill your son?

“I don’t know how they understand my own stand, but I know God understands my position. I am soul-saver; I am a soul-winner. The Bible say ‘a good shepherd will leave 99, and begin to look for one that is lost’.

“One of us is missing. This is a culture of unity. Igbo people are bonded. Forget about what money is trying to do. We shall divide money, money shall not divide us. Political position shall not make us to merchandise our children. Because some people want to go to Abuja, they are ready to disown the youths. God in heaven is watching.”

Meanwhile, the lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Ifeanyi Ubah, has called on the Federal Government to revisit the issue of the arrest and detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

Ubah made the call in Lagos, according to a statement by his media aide, Kamen Ogbonna, issued on Thursday.

The statement is titled, ‘Senator Ubah calls on Federal Government to review arrest, detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’.

The Senator, who is contesting the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, specifically urged the Federal Government to critically examine issues surrounding the arrest and detention of Kanu.

Ubah, the statement added, made the call during a stakeholders’ meeting in Lagos as part of his sensitisation and engagement with Anambra indigenes in the state.

He said Ubah’s team had robust discussions and exchange of ideas on various issues surrounding South-East development.

Part of the statement read, “In the course of the conversation, some youth leaders used the opportunity of the visit to express their sadness to the Senator over the raging issue of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s detention and pleaded with Ubah to intervene in the matter.

Kanu began his activism for the freedom of Biafra as a Radio Biafra director and anchor of Biafra awareness under Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), who said while in a meeting in Kaduna, Nigeria on June 12, 2014, that he handed over Radio Biafra to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB but Kanu disappointed him.
