The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has strongly criticized the Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) for urging President Bola Tinubu not to grant the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB.

In a statement issued on Saturday, CNG’s spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, cautioned Tinubu against being swayed by IPOB’s tactics and the appeals from the South-East region seeking Kanu’s freedom.Reacting, in a statement by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday, said the CNG’s call was a “laughable and disgraceful statement from the clueless Coalition of Northern Group.”IPOB said, “The Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) that are advising the Nigerian President to allow the law to run its course are so clueless that they didn’t realize that the Appeal Court of Nigeria in Abuja has already discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“We would have ignored the group of herdsmen, but it’s important to educate them if only they will understand.

“Nigeria’s government is in violation of both local and international laws,” it added.
