Members of the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo Worldwide from the Maryland, Washington and Virginia chapter have called on President Bola Tinubu to unconditionally release the Leader of the indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu to help in the peace building process in Igboland.
The chairman of the Ohaneze Worldwide, Maryland, Washington and Virginia chapter , Hycient Nwachukwu who made the call during a condolence visit to the family of late Emmanuel Inwuanyawu said Igboland is bleeding because the continuous detention of Nnamdi Kanu has given some criminal elements the opportunity to perpetrate evil in the land.
He said the continuous holding of Kanu in detention will not only lead to collapse of economic prosperity of the Igbo people but will lead to continuous destruction of life and property across the Igboland.
The chairman, Igbo Elders Consultative Forum Simon Okeke said the late Emmanuel Inwuanyawu was a strong voice calling for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu and promised that the Igbos will continue to speak with one voice to ensure his release.

The family of late Emmanuel Inwuanyawu while appreciating the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo Worldwide for their unequalled love and care urged them to fill in the vacuum the death of their father may have created.
Emmanuel Inwuanyawu was until his death the chairman of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, an Igbo sociocultural group established to struggle for the economic and political interest of the Igbo nation.
