The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has criticised Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, over his opposition to former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, regarding calls for the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement issued on Monday, IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, accused the governor of taking a position that contradicted his earlier public stance on Kanu’s detention.

According to the group, Soludo had previously advocated Kanu’s release, citing his reported visit to the detained IPOB leader at a Department of State Services (DSS) facility in Abuja in January 2023, during which he reportedly offered to stand as surety for him.
