Nollywood actor, Imeh Bishop Umoh, better known as Okon Lagos, has called for the pardon of Nnamdi Kanu after the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Kanu was sentenced today, Nov. 20, after being convicted on seven terrorism charges.

Reacting to the sentencing, Okon Lagos stated that if terrorists of northern extraction who have taken many lives can be pardoned because the claim to be “repentant”, then Nnamdi Kanu should also be pardoned.

Okon Lagos wrote: “Not a surprise. Nnamdi Kanu’s sentence was very expected. Now that he’s convicted, can we move to another matter of pressing concern: a political solution by way of clemency and state pardon?

“If “repented” terrorists of Northern Nigeria extract can be “justifiably’ pardoned and reintegrated into core institutions of national security like our armed forces, then same gesture can be accorded Nnamdi Kanu.

“Mr. President Sir, please balance the scales I pray, Show more class than your immediate predecessor. I know you can. I hope you will.”

“God save Nigeria,” Okon added in the caption of his post.
