Nnamdi Kanu Not Pressured By Nigerian Government, Others To Write Letter Ending Sit-at-home Exercise–Lawyer, EjimakorSaharaReporters on Friday reported that Kanu declared an end to all sit-at-home exercises, including Monday’s sit-at-home exercise and any other proposed to force the government to release him.
Kanu made the declaration in a handwritten letter, which Ejimakor read out to journalists during a world press conference, held in Enugu State. But while featuring on Arise News Newsnight on Saturday, Ejimakor was asked if there was any chance that Kanu was put under some kind of pressure to write the letter to secure his freedom.
I went in there to brief him on legalities and the status of certain cases that we have around Eastern Nigeria and the federal capital so he sprung this at me. So he must have ruminated over it, thought about it before I came into the room to meet with him." "So Nnamdi Kanu is very concerned about this. He never meant for things to go this awry, to go out of control. He is trying to separate the apples from the oranges here so that when somebody goes out there and says 'I'm a disciple of Nnamdi Kanu' and he levies violence on the general public in the name of sit-at-home, Nnamdi Kanu gets to take the bad name simply because he is the head of the organisation. It's not fair to him.
