Renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, says he would champion the call for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, if Kanu expresses genuine remorse.
Gumi stated this on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, monitored by DAILY POST.
His remarks come a week after Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, handed Kanu a life sentence after finding him guilty on all seven terrorism charges brought against him. Kanu has since been moved to the Sokoto Prison facility.
According to Gumi, “If Nnamdi Kanu, who is in prison for terr+rism and for thre+tening to k+ll our soldiers, shows remorse and seeks peace, I will personally lead the campaign for his pardon and amnesty.”
