Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a prominent Islamic cleric, stated that he would advocate for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), if Kanu were to express remorse for his actions. Gumi made this remark during an appearance on The Morning Brief, a program on Channels Television
This statement comes shortly after Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment due to his conviction on all seven counts of terrorism brought against him.
Gumi emphasized, “If Nnamdi Kanu, who is incarcerated for terrorism and for threatening to kill our soldiers, shows remorse and calls for peace, I will be at the forefront in advocating for his pardon and amnesty.”
