Professor Charles Soludo, the Governor of Anambra State, has revealed what the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu told him when he visited him in the detention of the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to the Governor, he visited Kanu on Friday in (DSS) detention facility in Abuja.
The Governor shared details of the meeting, including photos on his verified Facebook page on Saturday night.
He shared photos where he was being embraced and welcomed by Kanu who was clad in an Athletico Madrid tracksuit.
It was not exactly clear where the meeting took place but the room had two cushion furniture, tables, television sets and what appeared to be a map board.
Soludo said the IPOB leader promised to preach peace when he gains freedom.
Governor Soludo wrote, “I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, (Friday, 13th May 2022) to felicitate with him and also as part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the South East.
“He was in very high spirits and we had quality and frank discussion in a very convivial atmosphere.
“He expressed sadness over what he described as “sacrilegious killings” of innocent persons, kidnappings and all forms of criminalities, including the brutal enforcement of the senseless “sit at home” perpetuated by sundry groups claiming to be acting for or on behalf of IPOB.
“He assured that if the opportunity arises, he will be glad to personally broadcast to his followers to maintain the peace.
“Together, we shall restore peace, security and prosperity in Anambra and the Southeast.
“It is well indeed!”

Kanu was arrested last year and charged with alleged treasonable felony and terrorism, allegations he has continued to deny.
IPOB, the group he leads, has been accused by the Federal Government of various acts of criminality and violence, especially in the five Southeast states of Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra and Imo.
There have been increased attacks on security agencies and facilities, government facilities and high profile individuals in the region since Kanu’s arrest last year, which have been blamed on the group.
But IPOB has consistently denied responsibility for the attacks, reiterating that it is a non-violent organization.
The group is seeking the creation of an independent state of Biafra to be carved out of the southeast and parts of the South-South.
