Mr Dokubo made the request to Mr Tinubu on Friday when he visited the Presidential Villa Abuja.The activist, without proof, accused the IPOB leader of “instigating” the October 2020 #EndSARS protest across Nigeria.
The lawyer warned Mr Dokubo to be aware that Mr Kanu’s matter has “triggered the international legal order as there are two subsisting international tribunal decisions” in favour of Mr Kanu. The lawyer noted that Mr Dokubo had, in the past, agitated for self-determination by demanding the creation of the Niger Delta Republic.Former Nigerian President Musa Yar’Adua, now late, would later declare an amnesty programme for Niger Delta militants to surrender and embrace the Federal government’s peace initiative, which ended militant attacks in the region at that time.
“Thus, ending Nnamdi Kanu’s extant extrajudicial detention is capable of springing from a sound political decision of the president because Nnamdi Kanu committed no crime,” he said.
