Rep Urges Tinubu To Release Kanu Unconditionally.
Lawmaker representing Ikwuano-Umuahia North-Umuahia South Federal Constituency in Abia State, Obinna Aguocha, is urging President Bola Tinubu to utilize his office to secure the release of detained Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu has been in detention since his extradition in June 2020, facing charges of alleged terrorism by the Federal Government. Despite a 2022 Court of Appeal order for his release on health grounds, while, the Federal Government appealed to the Supreme Court, directing Kanu to resume trial at the Federal High Court, and has remained in the detention facility of the Department of State Services.
A statement issued in Abuja, Aguocha, a member of the Labour Party, emphasized that there’s no justification for Kanu’s continued custody, especially when others like Godwin Emefiele, Omoyele Sowore, and Sunday Igboho are free, and concluded by advocating for Kanu’s unconditional release, stressing that, justice should be equal for all citizens.
