“Free Nnamdi Kanu Even If It Defies Legal Grounds – Okon Lagos Urges FG”
Popular Nollywood comic actor, Ime Bishop Umoh, widely known as Okon Lagos, has urged the Federal Government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, regardless of the ongoing legal complexities surrounding his case.
Okon Lagos made this passionate appeal via social media, stressing that Nnamdi Kanu’s release could restore peace, unity, and stability in the South-East region. According to him, while the legal aspects of the case may appear complicated, prioritizing national interest and reconciliation should come first.
The actor emphasized that continued detention of the IPOB leader only deepens division and escalates tensions, which could further destabilize Nigeria’s fragile political atmosphere. He noted that true leadership lies in forgiveness and dialogue, adding that the Federal Government has the responsibility to act in the interest of national unity.
Okon Lagos’s bold statement has sparked conversations across the country, with some Nigerians supporting his call while others argue that the law must take its due course.
This comes as football-like heated debates around Nnamdi Kanu’s trial continue to dominate public discourse, with citizens comparing the situation to a tense match where both sides remain unwilling to concede.
The issue of Nnamdi Kanu remains one of Nigeria’s most polarizing topics, and Okon Lagos’s comments have once again brought it to the forefront of national discussions.
