The member representing District 139 in the Texas House of Representatives, Jarvis Johnson, has urged the United States Congress to compel the Federal Government to immediately release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Johnson made this known in a letter titled, ‘Re: Appeal for Your Urgent Intervention in Urging the Government of Nigeria (GON) to Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (MNK) from his Extraordinary Rendition’ on May 10, 2023.
A copy of the letter was released to Vanguard by Kanu’s special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor on Wednesday.
The US lawmaker narrated reasons why the US Congress should intervene in Kanu’s matter ranging from the time the Nigerian joint security agencies invaded his house in Abia State in 2017, where people were killed to the time he was abducted in Kenya and brought to Nigeria in 2021.
Johnson who had made similar calls to US President Joe Biden and President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2022 and January 2023 respectively, said Kanu needs to get out of the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) being a British citizen.
