The National Chairman of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, has joined his voice to calls for the freedom of the detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
He said there is no longer justification to hold Kanu in custody since he has denounced violent agitations and announced a commitment to peace.
Nwanyanwu spoke at a briefing with journalists in Abuja on Sunday.
He called on President Bola Tinubu to order Kanu’s unconditional release as others involved in similar agitations have regained their freedom.
According to him, Kanu’s continued detention is an injustice that must be addressed immediately.
Nwanyanwu said, “The Federal Government’s selective treatment of Kanu’s case is unjustifiable.
“We need to question why Nnamdi Kanu remains in detention while terrorists roam free and negotiate without government oversight.
“Many who shared Kanu’s agitation have been freed, yet he remains detained. A significant number of people, including a notable religious leader before his passing, have called for Kanu’s release.
“Kanu’s continued detention raises questions. He was agitating like others but was abducted from Kenya and brought back here.
“Since his detention, he has denounced all activities that caused insecurity in the southeast. It’s evident that those involved in these activities were not from Kanu’s region.
“He has committed no offence; his only crime is asking for his people’s freedom.
“We are calling on the President to release Kanu. If not, let’s bring him to a public square and use him for barbecue, symbolically letting his enemies partake to close this chapter.
“There is no justification for Kanu’s continued detention. It’s an injustice that must be addressed immediately.”
Daily Sun earlier reported that Justice James Omotosho, of a Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday, July 1, dismissed the $1 billion fundamental human rights enforcement suit Kanu filed against the Federal Government.
