Crediting his group, the IPOB for Kalu’s freedom, Kanu urged Buhari’s administration to release other victims of the alleged lopsided prosecution until all stolen money by the alleged cabal at the Presidency is accounted for, starting from the nearly 14 billion Aso Rock Clinic looted from 2015 to date. Kanu, who is on exile, called for the release of Joshua Dariye, Jolly Nyame James, Bala Ngilari and others currently in different correctional centres in the country, adding that there should be an end to selective prosecution. His words: “God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama takes all the glory but I must also say that the moderately reasonable Alimajiri judge that quashed the original conviction should be commended for saving Abba Kyari & the rest of the core north from damaging scrutiny and global shame by #IPOB. Those that ignore our warnings do so at their peril. “We have set Orji Uzor Kalu free today and while all reasonable Igbo people are happy, I am also looking forward to hearing the same about Olisah Metuh soon. “There are other victims of this lopsided prosecution, they are incarcerated and MUST be released until all stolen money by this cabal is accounted for, starting from the nearly 14Billion Aso Rock Clinic they looted from 2015 to date. “I am calling for an end to selective prosecution and the immediate release of the following people: Joshua Dariye, Jolly Nyame, James Bala Ngilari.” “Until such a time that Nigeria is serious about prosecuting all looters, nobody should be in prison. You cannot be jailing Christians from the Middle Belt and South in the name of fighting corruption while Fulani arch looters are jostling for who will be the next Chief of Staff and in effect de-facto president. Such injustice is what we are against not your fight against corruption,” the Nnamdi Kalu said.
