Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has visited the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Soludo posted photos of his visit to Facebook on Saturday night.
He said, “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.”
Soludo, who was inaugurated in March, noted that Mr Kanu expressed sadness over the killing of innocent people, kidnappings and all forms of criminalities, including the enforcement of the sit-at-home by people claiming to be acting 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,” he added.
Soludo’s predecessor Willie Obiano did not visit Kanu in detention.
