Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie has recently appealed to the federal government to release pro-Biafra activist Nnamdi Kanu.
The film star made this statement on his Instagram page on February 16, 2022 where he called on the government to release the activist and sit down for a dialogue.

“@theasovilla Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and call for dialogue. In a multi-tribal country like Nigeria there will always be agitation from different quarters,” he wrote.
“To keep the country united and peaceful you should listen to your people, find out why they are agitating and resolve it peacefully. Not by use of force.”
It would be recalled that Kanu has been under the custody of the Nigerian government for months.
First arrested on October 14, 2015, Kanu jumped bail and fled Nigeria in 2017 after the invasion of his home in Abia State, southeastern Nigeria.
He was re-arraigned on July 26, 2021, on an 11-count charge bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society, publication of defamatory material, illegal possession of firearms, improper importation of goods, among others.
Several celebrities including actress Rita Edochie and rapper Zoro have at one point demanded the release of the pro-Biafra political activist.
