A former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, on Friday paid a visit to the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, where he said the latter did not deserve to be in detention.

Kalu, who recently defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, posted a picture he had taken with Kanu during his visit to Kuje Prison.

In the post, Kalu said, “Today, I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kuje Prison and we engaged in a very long discussion. Kanu is my brother and a son of the soil. He shouldn’t be where he is because Kuje Prison is not his home. It is therefore my utmost concern to see him regain his freedom like every other Nigerian.”

It’s Getting Hotter! Falcons Reject N4.5m Offer

Recall N471.8m was rolled out to be paid to Super Falcons and Super Eagles for their outstanding settlements? But in a long run, NFF has agreed to pay them N4.5m each out of their over N11m right. I don’t know why the girls are rejecting the offer, but a source said, with the money given, they ought to pay them in full and let them leave the hotel in peace. The source further said, if the girls accept the money which isn’t up to half of their pay, they might never get the rest, Hence the protest continues.
