Ohanaeze Ndigbo reacts to court’s denial of Nnamdi Kanu’s bail request

Ohanaeze said Kanu’s followers should not engage in
violence, saying the IPOB leader does not support arson or bloodshed.

In the statement issued by the national spokesperson, Dr
Alex Ogbonnia, the group stated, “Today, Tuesday 19th March 2024 the Federal
High Court Abuja deliberated on the case of our Son and Brother Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu.

“Nigerian youths expected that he will be granted bail after
spending several months in incarceration. This case has been adjourned till
17th of April 2024.

“I wish to appeal to all Nigerian Youths to exercise some
patience and avoid any act that would lead to the destruction of life and
property. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has made it very clear on many occasions that he
will not support any act of arson or bloodshed.

“We put our trust in the divine providence of almighty God
and by God’s grace, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be free from incarceration very soon.
I appeal to everyone to be patient.”
