“Kanu’s case is with the judiciary. We are giving him the opportunity to defend himself, not to be abusing us in Europe as if he was not a Nigerian.

“Those who are saying we should release him. No we cannot release him,” he said.

Regarding the southeast leader’s request, Buhari said there is a possibility of a political solution “if people behave themselves”.

The president accused the IPOB leader of sending “incorrect security and economic” problems against Nigeria.
