Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Reported that Abia South Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe had disclosed that Kanu agreed to abide by any conditions set by President Bola Tinubu’s administration for his release from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). Abaribe made this claim during a meeting between Southeast senators and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, regarding Kanu’s release.
Senator Abaribe led approximately 15 federal lawmakers in the closed-door meeting. After the meeting, Abaribe, speaking on behalf of his colleagues, expressed optimism that the Attorney-General would influence the Federal Government to consider releasing Kanu.
However, Ejimakor, in a chat with the Daily Post, stated that the report is incorrect. He clarified that the legal team had a routine meeting with Kanu in DSS custody and that Kanu would abide only by the negotiated terms of his release.
Ejimakor said: “The legal team met with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today. The news that he will abide by ‘any conditions’ for his release is incorrect. What was meant is that he will abide by the ‘negotiated terms’ of his release and on other matters related thereto, as was also agreed in August 2017.”
