The founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, has assured that he would get the incarcerated leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IOB), Nnamdi Kanu, released if the Biafra radio and sit-at-home order are stopped.
Penpushing reports that Maharaj Ji gave the assurance on Wednesday while speaking in an interview granted to his temple’s in-house radio adding that Kanu was culpable of the terrorism charges levelled against him, and anyone guilty is liable to a death sentence.
“We are, however, grateful that the matter has been put on hold in the sense that, by the accusations, it is always going to be death, looking at the level of crimes attached to him, with the way and manner the constitution is written. Anybody who is accused of doing such a thing (terrorism) is sentenced to death. It is only out of grace that Kanu was able to escape’, he said.
“So now it has to be by political settlement before he (Kanu) can be released, and it will be addressed in so many ways. For anyone advocating for his pardon, they have to take positive steps’ Maharaj Ji stated
‘In other words, they must not do so with empty hands; they should stop the Biafra radio wherever it is. Secondly, the sit-at-home order should be stopped, and the judgment should be accepted while the Igbo elders go behind the scenes to analyse and explain to the President’, he added.
“Today, the Igbos have been brought to the central realms of politics by Tinubu. And the Northern caliphate is not happy about it. They are not excited about the commission they were given…They should stop the propaganda that the East is about to be Islamised. When those are done, I know how to watch it out, Kanu will come out. I will help facilitate his release. “
Penpushing further reports that Maharaj Ji joined the likes of Abia State governor, Alex Otti, activist Omoyele Sowore, and other South-East leaders to intensify efforts to secure the release of detained Kanu through a political arrangement, assuring residents of the region that “all hope is not lost.”
The Abia state Governor, it would be recalled on Tuesday, met President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, after visiting Kanu in the Sokoto prison facility, where the convict is serving his sentence.
Penpushing also reports that Otti’s meeting with the President is believed to be part of ongoing engagements aimed at securing the release of the detained Kanu, while it is recalled that Kanu bagged a life sentence instead of the death penalty.
The presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, handed down the sentence on counts one, two, four, five, and six, as well as sentenced him to 20-year jail term on count three, with no option of fine, and a five-year jail term on count seven, with no option of fine.
