Well-known Nollywood actor, Ime Bishop Umoh, popularly known as Okon Lagos, has urged the Federal Government to grant freedom to Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

During a recent appearance on The Clarity Zone podcast, the actor appealed for Kanu’s release, suggesting it would serve the broader goals of peace and national unity even if it may not align strictly with legal procedures.

He argued that offering a pardon would be the morally appropriate action, pointing out that Kanu’s push for Biafra’s independence was driven by emotion and a sense of injustice over how the Igbo people are treated within the Nigerian federation.

“I am one million percent of the opinion that Nnamdi Kanu should be freed. Free him. It may not make legal sense depending on what they have claimed, that the evidences that have been put in the fore of the ‘crimes’ he has committed.

“It [freeing Kanu] doesn’t need to make legal sense, but it makes moral common sense,” Umoh claimed.

His guest, Nedu Wazobia, asked: “How do you mean by it makes moral common sense?”

Umoh replied: “It is morally right. Of course, he is a human being and he took emotional decisions, and emotional decisions are not right decisions. He felt that his people were being marginalised and he started agitating for Biafra’s secession.”
