Eze Israel Kanu, father of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has appealed to the Federal Government to withdraw all the charges against his son.
Kanu, speaking in an interview in Umahia on Monday, said he cannot tell his son to drop his agitation for Biafra republic.
The monarch said: “I call on the Federal Government to immediately withdraw all the charges preferred against Kanu in the interest of peace in the country.
“He did not commit murder. He did not carry arms; neither did he commit any heinous crime to warrant such a government clampdown.

“His only offence was that he expressed his opinion in a democracy where people are free to express themselves without the fear of arrest or molestation.”
Kanu, who described the bail conditions by the Abuja High Court as harsh, however, thanked Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, representing Abia South Senatorial District, an Igbo Jewish Rabbi from Port Harcourt, Immanuu El-Shalom, and a renowned chartered accountant, Tochukwu Uchendu, for securing his release.
He assured that his son would not betray the trust of the sureties.
He said that while in his palace, young, able-bodied members of IPOB volunteered to restrict the number of visitors around him “so that he does not run afoul of one of the bail conditions”.
