Friday, November 21, 2025 - 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.
