The Federal Government has been asked to allow Nnamdi Kanu to come back home to bury his late mother.

According to Punch Metro, some monarchs in Orlu, Imo State, on Thursday, appealed to the Federal Government to allow the leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu to return to Nigeria for the burial his mother, Sally, without molestation.This appeal came at Amakwo Event Centre in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State.

The royal fathers led by HRM Eze Gideon Ejike said, “Kanu is not a terrorist. Terrorists kill but we are yet to see any bloodshed by Kanu. He is our hero and should be allowed to bury his mother before the beginning of next year. He deserves the honour and right as the first son to bury his mother.”

The monarchs also called on the United Nations to prevail on the FG to allow Kanu to bury his dead mother without molestation.

The traditional ruler of Orsu ancient kingdom in Ideato North LGA said Kanu had brought hope to the oppressed people of South East and South-South Nigeria, hence their decision to bestow on him a chieftaincy title.
