Embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has revealed that he will restore peace in the South East if he is released from custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Kanu made this known on Tuesday after he was denied bail by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja.
The IPOB leader said some government officials are profiting from the insecurity ubiquitous in the South-East geopolitical zone.
“I suspect that some people in government are complicit. They are making money with this insecurity. They know if Nnamdi Kanu is outside, in two minutes, this nonsense will stop,” Kanu told reporters.

“Anybody involved in any form of violence in the South-East in the name of IPOB, let me come out of this nonsense, this mess, only two minutes, I guarantee you, and there will be peace in the South-East.”
Earlier, the IPOB leader, who has been in the custody of the DSS since his extradition in June 2021, and is facing charges bordering on treasonable felony, told the court that he is being treated poorly by the secret police, and that there is a conspiracy for him to die in the custody.
