Parents of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, insist that their son is not known for trouble-making, and as such, his detention is unwarranted.

Kanu’s father, who’s the Isiama Afaraukwu in Umuahia North Council Area of Abia State and mother, Ugoeze Nnenne Kanu, expressed shock at their son’s continued detention.

While speaking with journalists at the Ome Udo Palace on Friday, Kanu’s parents said they were worried over the health and state of being of their son.

“I am pleading with the Federal Government to release my son. Let his freedom be restored. I am aware that in Nigeria the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

“I am surprised that my son is being detained. I have been asking why he is being held without getting an answer.”

“I was confused because my son was coming to see me when he was arrested. When I asked where he was arrested they said Abuja. I sent to confirm his state of health and the report I got is that he is alive, that is why I am able to talk now”.

“My son is not a trouble maker, and his campaign reflects the mind of the majority of the people in the South East geopolitical zone given the protests that have trailed his arrest and detention.’’

“My son is an adult and fully matured to be able to express his mind on any issue”.

Kanu’s mother, Ugoeze Kanu, said she was pained that her son is being punished for speaking the truth.

“The Bible tells us that truth shall set us free. But in Nigeria we are being made to understand that truth is bitter and can even lead to death.

“As a mother, it is painful, I will not deny him, he is my son, but in a democracy I know there is freedom of speech.”
