Igbo think-tank, Alaigbo Development Foundation, ADF, has demanded immediate and unconditional release of the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. President of the ADF, Prof Ukachukwu Awuzie made the call during a press conference held in Enugu on Sunday after an executive meeting of the group.
DAILY POST recalls that Kanu, who was rearraigned by the Federal Government was denied bail by Justice Binta Nyako of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. His legal representatives have also cried out that he can't get justice while in detention. https://dailypost.
'Kanu's continued incarceration constitutes a spite on social justice and an infringement on his fundamental rights to self expression, especially when viewed against the Federal Government's attitude of allowing those who had taken up arms against the state to be released, rehabilitated and even reintegrated into the Nation's security architecture,' he said.
