Biafra: Buhari Told To Release Nnamdi Kanu Immediately, Stop Destruction Of South-East
Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, on Sunday, said President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration must release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu forthwith, and stop “long term destruction of the South-East”.
HURIWA, in a statement by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, said the “abduction” and perennial detention of Kanu since he was brought back to Nigeria in June 2021 were illegal and inconsistent with international human rights practices.
HURIWA dismissed the verdict of Justice Binta Nyako, which it said offends international law and international human rights law.
The rights group said since Kenya denied any involvement in the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu in its jurisdiction, his abduction remained irregular and illegal “because if a judge sees White and tries to call it Black, it is in the self enlightened interests of the citizens to opposed an unjust verdict of a court.”
Onwubiko said, “Despite the extreme and heightened state of insecurity in the South-East, President Muhammadu Buhari has been nonchalant and unresponsive to popular and legal opinion on how to deflate worsening situation.
If we may ask, what has become of the negotiations initiated by some WISE MEN FROM THE EAST, including a 90-year-old first Republic minister of Aviation of Igbo extraction, who risked it all to fly into Abuja to plead with Buhari on behalf of Nnamdi Kanu?

“We don’t want to believe that although Muhammadu Buhari respects Fulani Emirs, he has no respect for Elders from the Igbo speaking South East of Nigeria so much so that he deceived them or so it seemed, to hope that Nnamdi Kanu will receive immediate reprieve only to realise that the President may have played a fast one on respected Elders and statesmen only because they are not Fulanis?
