Speaking to news correspondence, Prince said the report is an attempt to call bluff all effort to get justice for his brother.

“That is blatant lie, when and how? Where did the person see him to get the apology from?” Prince said.

He added that the articled as published by Punch is an attempt to sell their newspaper.

“I will put it as Punch’s propaganda, a Lagos-Ibadan expressway propaganda to sell their papers,” he said.

He said report on his brother’s apology is also weird.

“It is a very strange an weird report because I have been in communication with my brother (Nnamdi Kanu) and as far as I am concerned he did not grant any interview to anybody and never made a statement apologizing to anybody,”Prince added.

He said: “So, only God knows where the junk is coming from.”

Also, Kanu’s lawyer, Vincent Obetta has also debunked claims that his client made such confessions.

He said the report is a propaganda by the Nigerian government, an indication that the government was trying everything possible to destroy Kanu’s defence.

The apology, the Punch reported was contained in a statement which the 48-year-old pro-Biafra agitator made available to the DSS on October 23.

On the report, Kanu was said to have apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari for calling him a pedophile among other things.

After being granted bail by a Magistrate Court and subsequently by a Federal High Court, Kanu is currently being detained by the State Security Service (SSS) over allegations of managing an unlawful society, unlawful possession of firearms and assisting in the management of unlawful society, all punishable under Section 27 (b) (1) of the Firearms Act CAP F28 and Section 63 of the Criminal Code Act, CAP C38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.
