A statement obtained from the Department of State Security (DSS) shows that founder of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has expressed regret for referring to President Muhammadu Buhari as a terrorist, evil and a paedophile in his radio broadcasts.
He, however remains unapologetic for leading the Indigenous People of Biafra and asking for the cessation of the Igbo people from Nigeria.
The statement read in part, “Reference to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a terrorist, evil and a paedophile is regrettable and uncalled for and for that, I unreservedly apologise and will be doing so in a private letter to the President.
“Before PMB (President Muhammadu Buhari) there was the administration of Goodluck Jonathan. I also said uncomplimentary things about him and Igbo elders as well, which I now recognise should not have happened because it is un-African to be rude or insolent to elders.
“All I was trying to do is to draw attention to the problems afflicting society and something done about them.”
Kanu in the statement maintained that “incessant hardship, lack of holistic development in the socio-economic landscape of Nigeria, lack of youth employment, corruption in high offices and economic regression, ” were some of the reasons behind the renewed call for a Biafra nation.
Kanu has been in the custody of the DSS since his arrest in Lagos on October fourteen , twenty-fifteen.
