Popular Nollywood actress,  Rita Edochie, has called for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

Edochie made the call on her Instagram page on Monday.

According to her, if Nnamdi Kanu is released, the unrest in the South East would cease forthwith.

Alongside a video of the IPOB leader, she wrote: “Release Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu today and see the unrest in the South East become history.

“Stop playing with people’s lives, especially all you elites that your children are overseas and you are using other people’s children to create unrest.

“If you are one of them your generation and generation to come will never know peace [sic].
