If the current posture of the Nigerian government is anything to go by, towards the outcry for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the founder and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), then plights, fears and despair of Southeast residents and Ndigbo is far from over.
This is because the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration has seemingly adopted a silent and indifferent stance amid continued appeals and violent protests in the Southeast for the release of Kanu, who has been in detention as a prisoner of conscience since June 2021.
Kanu’s detention came after his extraordinary rendition from Kenya. He was then thrown into the Department of State Services (DSS) cell during the former Muhammadu Buhari presidency.
