The spiritual director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has carried out a special prayer for the release of the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The clergyman took to Facebook to announce that he was praying for the embattled activist.
OsunDailyNG recalls that the Department of State Service (DSS) in June 2021 arrested Kanu after he was forcibly repatriated from Kenya to Nigeria over terrorism charges.
The appellate court had ordered Kanu’s release due to his unlawful repatriation from Kenya.
However, the government appealed the decision at the Supreme Court, declining to release the IPOB leader.
Showing his support for the IPOB leader, Mbaka shared a video on Facebook titled “I pray For Our Brother Nnamdi Kanu.”
The video was apparently recorded while the cleric was ministering in one of his church programmes.
“There is nothing you cannot do. You are the specialist in the impossible. Into your hands, we commit Nnamdi Kanu, deliver him, deliver him. Please deliver him, Lord. For the sake of your people, oh Lord, deliver him, Lord. Give him freedom, ransom free. Emancipation. The hand that sets free those in bondage, free him from bondage.
“The entire Igbo people implore you, oh Lord, to grant Kanu freedom,” Mbaka prayed.
