Ihedioha Disowns AGF’s Letter To Further Detain Kanu After Appeal Court Ruling
- Demands Police investigation
Former Imo State Governor, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has denied any link or writing any letter to the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami for the continued detention of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, after being set free by the Appeal Court.
In a letter personally signed by him and made available to newsmen, Ihedioh said it is unthinkable for anyone to assume and tag him with authoring any letter to that effect after a competent court of law had declared the detained IPOB Leader free.
He described the ugly development as the handwork of mischief makers, noting that the report linking him to the purported letter is aimed at discrediting and making him look ordinary before the good people of Imo State.
Urging the security agencies to unmask those behind the purported letter, Ihedioha said; “It is laughable and preposterous, knowing my background and predicament that I will be writing to the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation, asking him to continue to illegally hold on to Nnamdi Kanu even after a court of competent jurisdiction had discharged him.”
The letter further read in part; “What benefits will such a letter confer on me in a matter of such public concern, sensitivity, and volatility? How does that make sense?
“I, therefore urge the security agencies to investigate those behind this blatant forgery and bring them to justice. Criminality should not be elevated to an art of governance. Imolites deserve better.”
