The Nigerian Government has been told to release Nnamdi
Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, before the May 29
inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said releasing Kanu
and other prisoners of conscience from the Southeast before May 29 would end
self-determination.
Ejimakor described the past eight years as a dark era for
those agitating for self-determination.
He lamented that Kanu and those who agitated for Biafra were
subjected to persecution and rendition.
According to Ejimakor: “Regardless of where you stand on
self-determination, it’s regrettable that – for the past 8 years – those who
demanded it were brutally persecuted and even renditioned. The only way to
close this dark era is to free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu & all prisoners of
conscience before May 29.”
Kanu has been locked up by the Nigerian Government since
June 2022 when he was subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya.
The IPOB leader was picked up in Kenya over his Biafra
agitation.
However, as Nigeria prepares to exchange the baton of
leadership, stakeholders have called for Kanu’s release before the Dda-y May
29.
