A traditional ruler from the South-East, Lawrence Agubuzu, has called on President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu or return him to Kenya, where he was arrested before being brought back to Nigeria.
Agubuzu made the appeal on Tuesday while delivering a goodwill message at the 2026 National Traditional and Religious Leaders Summit on Health held at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
The monarch, who is the Eze Ogbunechendo of Ezema Olo Kingdom in Enugu State, said Kanu’s continued detention is fuelling agitation among youths in the southeast. He warned that the situation is increasing pressure on traditional rulers in the region, with many young people expressing anger and frustration over the matter.
