Kobojunkie:
The problem with a lot of you is you argue from a point of established blindness/ignorance of the kind that seems incurable. In the cases you mentioned, it is clearly indicated that those men were found guilty of crimes against the people. Kanu has, even after several years, not been charged with any crimes requiring his current detention. He has yet to be convicted on even the terrorism charges that were formerly dismissed, since December 2023, so what are you arguing for Pete's sake?

https://apnews.com/article/nnamdi-kanu-supreme-court-ipob-51a637e9f77fc14d49322ee52ef5a0b8

You blind ignoramuses are the reason that country continues to fail even your own generation. You call for illegal acts against those whom you conveniently set yourselves again all while whining about how your elected leaders(including the ones who rigged themselves into office) continue to flout your very constitution without abandon.

So the case is not in court? lol!

I think the point you wanted to make is, his crime doesn't warrant treason, but you will be wrong.

I don't have time for this, whatever you think, he is still in DSS cell, and there's nothing that will change that, I mean he is lucky, if in other country, they would have handed him to the army he so despised and ordered to be killed by his minors, all this story of fundamental human rights will be stories for the gods.

I respect Abaribe alot, but I'm seriously disappointed with this his statement. It's very much uncalled for. On what condition was Sunday Igboho released? Which of the Yoruba leaders have come out to speak about his freedom.
Why don't you allow the negotiation to go without the public know what transpired?
This is what I hate about some Igbo leaders, using the pain of their brothers to shine. Too bad.

Stop trying to console yourself with stories of yesteryears. Ask yourself instead why Nigerians never fought to retain that old regional governmental system. Then maybe you begin to see for yourself that even they did not like it enough to want to hold on to it.

Aren't you too old for fairytales? Wake the fk up. Anyone who has refused to stand up at the local level today is not a sleeping giant but a predator/opportunist waiting for the opportunity to pillage and rape the people where he/she is unable to in this current set up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay then, let the country keep retrogressing with their #OneNigeria.

If Nigeria continues to retrogress it equally means the future of your region also continues to regress with it. Your tribe/ethnic group which you pretend to care so much more will continue to lose out on opportunities to advance itself and move forward with the rest of the world. That is like drinking poison pretending you harm others by doing so. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

hopexter:


True! in that case, the federal government should keep him there. You only end up killing yourselves after all, only the East suffers Ipob terrorism, he’s only being released for your own good

Kanu should stay in detention as long as possible. In fact t, let him stay there until Biafra is actualized either by referendum or otherwise. It's his calling and it's his destiny.

Just like how Nelson Mandela Was incarcerated until south Africa gained freedom so will nnamdi kanu be locked up till his people are free. Those two men are legends, one already and one in the making.

Being in court is one thing; being in detention is something else entirely. If you read the law, a person on trial does not need to be in detention during all of that. He can equally come from home to his case when he needs to be especially since he has, to date, not been formally charged with any actual crimes requiring his detention.

Again, you cannot call for illegal acts to be used in the process of obtaining justice. That is counterintuitive and only serves to belittle your very constitution. Even criminals have rights... yes, it is stated in your constitution that every Nigerian has rights that ought to be respected. This man has yet to be convicted of any actual crimes; his rights ought to be respected the same as yours.

Una dunn start chestbeating again. He is a ant for government to handle but they just want to prove to him that he is a dot in circle. Military are know for that kind of treatment. If he is freed today, people like you will still be boasting that government can't do him anything, when it is obvious all your major leaders has been begging the government from Buhari time to Tinubu now. If you people were bold, immediately his arrest you could have cause problems in Nigeria but his ipob members only succeed in killing you people. With the suffer he went through and knowing you people couldn't fight the government to standstill, when release he won't dere talk of Biafra again when he knows he has many cowards cheering him before.

Nnamdi Kanu should not be released on pardon, but fast-track the court judgment to determine if he's guilty or not.

They are not trying to get justice; all your government has done to date has been to illegally detain a Nigerian citizen, against the Nigerian Constitution.

Section 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
▢ Every person shall be entitled to his personal liberty and no person shall be deprived of such liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure permitted by law -
▶ in execution of the sentence or order of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty;
▶ by reason of his failure to comply with the order of a court or in order to secure the fulfilment of any obligation imposed upon him by law;
▶ for the purpose of bringing him before a court in execution of the order of a court or upon reasonable suspicion of his having committed a criminal offence, or to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to prevent his committing a criminal offence;
▶ in the case of a person who has not attained the age of eighteen years for the purpose of his education or welfare;
▶ in the case of persons suffering from infectious or contagious disease, persons of unsound mind, persons addicted to drugs or alcohol or vagrants, for the purpose of their care or treatment or the protection of the community; or

▶ two months from the date of his arrest or detention in the case of a person who is in custody or is not entitled to bail; or
▶ three months from the date of his arrest or detention in the case of a person who has been released on bail, he shall (without prejudice to any further proceedings that may be brought against him) be released either unconditionally or upon such conditions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that he appears for trial at a later date.
▢ In subsection (4) of this section, the expression "a reasonable time" means -
▶ in the case of an arrest or detention in any place where there is a court of competent jurisdiction within a radius of forty kilometres, a period of one day; and

▢ Any person who is unlawfully arrested or detained shall be entitled to compensation and public apology from the appropriate authority or person; and in this subsection, "the appropriate authority or person" means an authority or person specified by law.
▢ Nothing in this section shall be construed -
▶ in relation to subsection (4) of this section, as applying in the case of a person arrested or detained upon reasonable suspicion of having committed a capital offence; and
▶ as invalidating any law by reason only that it authorises the detention for a period not exceeding three months of a member of the armed forces of the federation or a member of the Nigeria Police Force in execution of a sentence imposed by an officer of the armed forces of the Federation or of the Nigeria police force, in respect of an offence punishable by such detention of which he has been found guilty.

Instead what we are now seeing is gradual end of south east. Una no get any single liver. A typical Igbo is know for empty treat. Many in my area then in Benin after noise when matter sup, you see them forming peace talk. He was arrested and bungled like a thief to Nigeria and you people could not do anything. I was shocked after all the boast from this platform about Nigeria will end if he was arrested but last month made it three years in detention and nobody cough. Online warriors. He must agree to the term and the way he has suffered when release he will move to Uk as a citizen and enjoy the remaining cash he made from donations by his blind and foolish followers.

They didn't want to. Nigerian government and Kenyan authorities have a mutual understanding so if they wanted to kill him, it would have been very easy.
