Abia Governor, Alex Otti Visits Nnamdi Kanu In Sokoto Prison

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, on Sunday paid a visit to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the convicted leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), at the Sokoto Correctional Centre.

Kanu’s special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, and Prince Emmanuel Kanu disclosed the development in separate posts on their Facebook pages.

Ejimakor, in his post, thanked the governor “for fulfilling the promise you made to me to visit your brother, MAZI NNAMDI KANU. You’re a man of your words and gutsy to boot.

“May God bless you. And may your august visit to Sokoto today be the first step to ending this undeserved ordeal, sooner than later.”

On his part, Emmanuel Kanu wrote, “Governor Alex Otti and the people of Sokoto have made a unified statement by visiting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”

Recall that upon Kanu’s sentencing to life imprisonment, Governor Otti had said plans were in motion to secure the release of the IPOB leader from prison.

Otti said he had already activated a strategy to secure Kanu’s final freedom, which, according to him, he had earlier initiated during Kanu’s trial.
