The President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, has once again condemned the federal government’s incarceration of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, demands he should be released without further delay.




According to him, Nigeria is a country that operate by the rule of law, the whole essence of the rule of law is separation of powers and independence of the judiciary. When the executive does not respect the rulings of the judiciary, we are in a state of anarchy.

The courts have, two times, asked for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. I don’t know why he is still being held. I don’t understand the security threat that Nnamdi Kanu poses that he will continue to be incarcerated.

Nnamdi Kanu has done nothing to compare to different groups killing people across the country without been arrested.

I know that Boko Haram is an armed organisation, which has invaded Nigeria with reckless abandon; occupied territories, some of which have been recovered; mounted flags that are not Nigerian flags; and displaced local and traditional authorities. Some of them who were captured have been released.
Some of them escaped from detention. Can you imagine a terrorist escaping from detention? Some of them claimed to have renounced Boko Haram and one of them came back with a girl he abducted and they were received in Aso Rock.

I do not know of anyone of them on trial in any of our courts today. What has Nnamdi Kanu done in comparison?

In the Niger-Delta, there are Avengers, who have blown up oil wells and pipes. Government is going to negotiate with them.

There are all kinds of government policies and programmes aimed at addressing their grievances and travails. But if it concerns the Igbo, they even concoct situations in order to terrorise the Igbos.
It took the Amnesty International to shout before everybody began to take it seriously that 177 people were killed summarily without trial just because they were demonstrating.
