The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, said it received the judgment of the Court of Appeal on Thursday that quashed the terrorism charges against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, with great excitement, jubilation and consummate relief.
He said that the fate of Nnamdi Kanu had caused tremendous apprehensions, including the Monday sit-at-home, its enforcements by gunmen, the roadblocks on the major roads in all parts of Igbo land and, ultimately, the monumental loss of goods, especially in the South-East of Nigeria. This explains why the landmark judgement by the Appeal Court Justices has reverberated across the country and beyond with jubilation galore.
“In an ideal democracy, structures, such as the Electoral Management Body , in our case INEC, should stand above the government. In our bizarre democracy, there is no distinction between the EMB and the government because the members of INEC are recruited by the same government. At any rate, this day in history will always be remembered with immense passion.
“There are several courageous Nigerians, the social prophets and cosmic agents, who spoke out against the incarceration of Kanu. The fourth estate of the realm and the civil society have shown tremendous support throughout the struggle.
