The younger brother of former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, Isaac, has called on President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and give him contracts like ex-President Goodluck Jonathan did with Niger Delta militant leader, Tompolo. Fayose said Kanu’s release would help Tinubu get more votes from the Southeast in 2027. In a video on his Instagram handle, Fayose said releasing Kanu would reduce the level of insecurity in the Southeast.

And APC will get more votes in 2027. “If President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan can give a contract to Tompolo to have peace in the Niger Delta, why can’t we do the same in the South-East?” “If we are spending so much money on security in the Southeast, the money will be reduced by 50% releasing Kanu,” Fayose advised. He added that, “If I were president Tinubu, after the election, when I noticed that the Southeast people...

Luck has run out on a kidnapping gang in Otukpo, Benue South Senatorial District, after some members of the gang were identified by one of their victims in a public bus.
