The lead counsel of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, Mike Ozekhome, has warned against the
continued detention of the Biafra agitator.
Ozekhome said Nigeria would disintegrate if Kanu is not
released from custody soon despite courts.
He issued the warning during a meeting with Igbo leaders in
Atlanta, the United States of America, US.
Ozekhome assured that releasing Kanu would not escalate
insecurity in the southeast.
According to Ozekhome: “We are at the Supreme Court, and it
will right the wrong because nobody will intimidate the Supreme court. They
will have to do something so that Nigeria will not disintegrate.
“I have told the court that releasing Kanu will not break
the South East or bring unrest in the zone. Rather, that is what will calm
South East.”
The Nigerian government has refused to release the agitator
despite a court ruling ordering his release.
Kanu had been incarcerated since June 2021, when he was
arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria.
A few months ago, the Appeal Court in Abuja ordered the
Nigerian Government to release Kanu.
However, the Nigerian government appealed the court ruling.
