Interpol Systems Consultant and security expert, Sir Chikwe Udensi has condemned the refusal of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to release to detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, accusing him of attempts to create a jungle situation.

He said in a society where orders of the court are treated with contempt, it is a recipe for people to resort to self-help which in his own words does not augur well for the entire country.

Sir Udensi was reacting to a recent release by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami in which he said that Nnamdi Kanu was only partially released and that the Federal Government is exploring options to press further charges against the IPOB leader.

A three-man panel of Justices of the Appeal Court had a week ago discharged and acquitted Nnamdi Kanu of all charges levelled against him by the federal government, including terrorism-related charges.

Featuring on Love FM’s Open Parliament in Umuahia on Wednesday streamed and monitored by ABN TV, Sir Udensi, a chieftain of All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA joined the growing calls across the country and beyond to demand the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government.

If done, he said it would significantly reduce the insecurity in the South East region, saying the tension in the region is directly linked to the prolonged incarceration of the IPOB leader.

“It would bring soccour to the people and challenge the insecurity in the region, everybody will begin to have a normal way of life, and the country will start healing even before the general elections.

“I believe the government ought to know this, disobedience to court order has consequences, it will bring all kinds of discontentment, I urge the government to ensure the ruling of the Appeal Court is obeyed,” he advised.

Sir Udensi accused the federal government of continuing in its ways of lawlessness by detaining Nnamdi Kanu further, warning that it is a recipe for more deaths, lawlessness, and impunity.

“We must strive to have a peaceful society, the only way to start that process is to obey this judgement of the Appeal Court and if we don’t do that, we will not achieve peace in Southeast region. I don’t know for what purpose and intent the federal government wants to act in total variance to the judgement,” he added.
