President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday reiterated his stand on the release of pro-separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu, saying court will determine the treason charge against the latter.
President Buhari met with Southeast leaders from Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, at the New Government House.
TheNewsGuru.com gathered that he is in Ebonyi for a two-day working visit.
Reacting to a demand by leaders of the region who pleaded with him to release Kanu and other Igbo youths in detention across the country, President Buhari said they are in dialogue with dissident groups in the region with a view to bringing them to a round table discussion for return of peace.
However, he holds the view that Kanu’s matter would be properly adjudicated in the law court.
President Buhari expressed concerns over the worsening security situation in the region, stressing that a few persons from the region have brainwashed and incited many against the government.
