Former Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Dokubo made the call after he visited President Tinubu in Aso Rock on Friday. He said Kanu should be made to face the law because releasing him will fuel impunity.
He also asserted that the Nigerian military is the one at the centre of oil stealing in the country.
“His release would fuel impunity; during EndSars, Nnamdi Kanu was walking free. What did he do? He poured petrol on the flames of EndSars. Now, he has been caught. What of the people who have died? This is a criminal. He should face the law.
“Releasing Nnamdi Kanu is rewarding criminality and rewarding gruesome murder of innocent people. He should face the law for the actions and instigations he has carried out.
“The military is at the centre of oil theft and we have to make this very clear to the Nigerian public that 99 per cent of oil theft can be traced to the Nigerian military, the Army and the Navy especially,” he told newsmen.
