A human rights group, the Citizens Coalition for Good Governance, CCGG, on Thursday, pleaded with the Southeast leaders to move for the unconditional freedom of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, before the Imo November 11, 2023, governorship elections.
The leaders of the group led by Comrade Justina Akwuaka-Akwaja and Comrade Obinna Nnajiuba Agbogidi, made this appeal while speaking to newsmen in Owerri, regarding Kanu’s continued detention by the federal government ahead of the Imo election.
According to the group, “We the Citizens Coalition for Good Governance , a civil rights group based in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. We are here today to demand the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , who was unlawfully brought back to Nigeria by the previous administration of Rtd Major General Muhammed Buhari.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a Nigerian citizen and a Prince from Abia State. He was detained in Kenya in June 2021 and returned to Nigeria without following due process or extradition proceedings. The Nigerian government has not revealed the details of how Kanu was detained and returned, raising doubts of foul play and involvement of foreign agents and his continued detention after all court proclamations is an open act of injustice.
“Ohaneze Ndi-Igbo Worldwide, Captains of industries of Igbo extraction worldwide and all Traditional institutions in Ala-Igbo, to rise and defend our region by boycotting all seatings and move in one accord and voice as a conscious group of NDI IGBO to Mr President; Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu to demand the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and this show of solidarity should be seen to be done before the November 11th gubernatorial elections.
