Sunday Igboho Demands Release of Nnamdi Kanu
Activist Sunday Igboho has called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since 2021.
In a video that surfaced online on Wednesday, February 28, Igboho passionately urged authorities to free Kanu. He emphasized Kanu’s innocence, stating, “Release Nnamdi Kanu. Stop politics, this guy didn’t do anything.”
Asserting the date, February 27, 2024, Igboho appealed for Kanu’s release, urging authorities to allow him to reunite with his family. Drawing parallels between their causes, Igboho highlighted Kanu’s advocacy for the people of the southeast, akin to his own fight for the Yoruba people.
Igboho’s plea underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding Kanu’s detention, with supporters and activists alike calling for his release. The demand adds to the growing pressure on authorities to address the situation.
The source of Igboho’s statement was not specified, but it was reported by Daily Gist Online, indicating the spread of Igboho’s message across various media platforms.
As the call for Nnamdi Kanu’s release gains momentum, it signals the continued scrutiny of Nigeria’s legal and political landscape, particularly concerning issues of human rights and freedom of expression.
