Laolu Akande, a former presidential aide, has expressed surprise regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s recent efforts to seek a political resolution rather than face judicial proceedings.
In a recent interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, Akande shared his insights into the ongoing legal and political complexities surrounding Kanu’s case.Nnamdi Kanu’s issue is very sensitive. Not only does it have implications for issues of law and order, but it also has more implications on issues of politics,” Akande said.
“There are those who say that ‘this man has been accused of certain things, very grievous allegations, and they will have to be proven in court.’ These individuals argue that Kanu is responsible for certain chaos or statements traced to him.
”However, Akande acknowledged the alternative perspective, which views Kanu’s situation as a political problem requiring a political solution.
“Some say a certain part of the country – the South-East – the leaders especially feel that this is a political problem, and we can sort it out by letting this man go free with guarantees that there won’t be any recurrence of what has happened.”

Former US president Donald Trump celebrated the election of fellow populist Nigel Farage to Britain’s parliament on Friday, neglecting to mention the new prime minister, Keir Starmer.
Farage’s anti-immigration Reform UK party won the third largest vote haul, but under Britain’s electoral system, it took just four seats while Starmer’s Labour party swept into office with a landslide.
“Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success. Nigel is a man who truly loves his Country!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Farage is a long-standing ally of Trump, who has dubbed the divorced father-of-four “Mr Brexit” and previously said the British populist would have done a “great job” as the UK’s ambassador to Washington.

Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Fayoade Adegoke, has disclosed that the command has arrested no fewer than 4,000 suspected criminals, who have been prosecuted in court and sent to prison, while the foreigners among them were handed over the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS.
The arrests and prosecution, it was gathered, followed an alarming influx of foreigners with questional characters into Lagos State.
These individuals, mostly from neighbouring countries, reportedly sneaked into Nigeria and found their way to Lagos without proper documentation, making it difficult for authorities to track their activities.
Many of these foreigners, who are homeless, have reportedly been linked to various criminal activities, including armed robbery, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and fraud.
