Shortly after failing to respond to a plea by the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the South East, Reverend Father Abraham Nwali to forgive Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), President Muhammadu Buhari has finally addressed the issue.

President Buhari during a meeting with Igbo leaders comprising the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other stakeholders at the new Government House, Abakaliki told the leaders to allow the court to take a final decision in the case.

The President, who has ended his two-day working visit to the State, pointed out that the determination of the court on the matter was necessary.

‘‘I have listened carefully to the various appeals from the elders to the traditional leaders regarding a wide range of options, and as I have said previously this matter remains in the full purview of the courts where it will be properly adjudicated.

‘‘My worry is for our hardworking and innocent civilians, for whom life is already tough and would like to earn a decent and honest living.

‘‘There are many that fit this profile and the government owes them that obligation to protect lives and property.

‘‘I will once again repeat, no one has the right to carry an AK-47, and anyone seen in any part of the country doing so and is not a law enforcement officer is a threat to our peaceful coexistence and should be treated as such,’’ he said.
