Sunday Igboho Sends Message To Tinubu IPOB Leader Nnamdi Kanu
Few days after his return to Nigeria, the Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to order the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
While urging the Federal Government to drop the treasonable charges against Kanu, Igboho emphasized that releasing Kanu is crucial to attending to his failing health.
In a video released on Monday, he stressed that Kanu, like himself, is an agitator fighting for the interests of his people in the Southeast.
“Please release Nnamdi Kanu, stop politics. This guy did not do anything. Today is February 26, 2024. Release him; let him go and stay with his family. This guy is just fighting for his people in the South East like me, and I am fighting for my people in Yorubaland. Release him, let him go. Release Kanu. Please release him,” Igboho pleaded.
It would be recalled that an appeal court in the capital Abuja in October 2023, had dropped all charges against Kanu after ruling that he had been illegally arrested abroad but the federal government appealed the judgment at the apex court.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in its judgement on December 15, 2023, ordered the continuation of the trial of Kanu on terrorism charges, saying there is no law in the country stopping a trial based on the violation of the rights of a suspect.
Kanu has been in DSS detention since June 2021 when he was repatriated from Kenya to Nigeria. He was first arrested in 2015 on treason and terrorism charges. While out on bail, Kanu fled the country as Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has fixed March 19, 2024, to rule on the fresh bail application filed by Kanu’s lawyer.
