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.<\/p>\n
Kanu\u2019s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said releasing Kanu and other prisoners of conscience from the Southeast before May 29 would end self-determination.<\/p>\n
Ejimakor described the past eight years as a dark era for those agitating for self-determination.<\/p>\n

Kanu\u2019s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said releasing Kanu and other prisoners of conscience from the Southeast before May 29 would end self-determination.<\/p>\n
Ejimakor described the past eight years as a dark era for those agitating for self-determination.<\/p>\n
He lamented that Kanu and those who agitated for Biafra were subjected to persecution and rendition.<\/p>\n
According to Ejimakor: \u201cRegardless of where you stand on self-determination, it\u2019s regrettable that \u2013 for the past 8 years \u2013 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kanu has been locked up by the Nigerian Government since June 2022 when he was subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya.<\/p>\n
The IPOB leader was picked up in Kenya over his Biafra agitation.<\/p>\n
However, as Nigeria prepares to exchange the baton of leadership, stakeholders have called for Kanu\u2019s release before the Democracy day May 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
