SOLUDO TO FG: SPEED UP KANU'S TRIAL OR RELEASE HIM FROM INDEFINITE DETENTION

Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, has asked the federal government to handle the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), with speed so that he can be convicted or freed instead of being kept "in indefinite detention."

The governor said an expeditious release of Kanu would cushion the insecurity impasse in the zone.

He pointed out that "justice delayed is justice denied."
