Igbo World Assembly (IWA), has called on the Federal Government to immediately and unconditionally release the Director, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group said events had shown that Kani is the first political prisoner of the present government.

IWA is the apex global umbrella organization that represents the apex national Igbo organizations outside Nigeria in the various countries of the world.

A statement jointly signed by IWA Chairman, Dr Nwachukwu Anakwenze, and Oliver Nwankwor, Secretary General, stated that Kanu was part of the Mass Media and should not be arrested or detained because of expressed opinions.

The group also stated that freedom of speech was guaranteed by Section 22 and Section 39 of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution as amended and such right is also enshrined in the Geneva Convention Universal Human Right Declaration Article 19 when it stated: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression.”

“Radio Biafra of which Nnamdi Kanu serves as the Managing Editor is part of the Mass Media and should not be arrested or detained because of their expressed opinions. The detention and harassment of Kanu is an affront to a free press and speech of all Nigerians.

“Suppressing press freedom is something many Nigerians associated with the dictatorship of the military rule in the past. All Igbo and indeed all Nigerians should defend press freedom and the right of Radio Biafra to express its views on Nigeria publicly. Ndigbo must not be subjected to a different treatment from other Nigerians.

“This incessant harassment and in some cases killing of members of Igbo organizations must be put to an end. MASSOB or Radio Biafra have not picked up arms against or challenged the Nigerian Government by force.

“Arrests and harassment of Igbo leaders is sending a wrong signal and message to young and newer generation of Ndigbo under 45 who did not witness the genocide and war against people in the South East.

“Peaceful freedom movements are going on in Western Cameroon, Scotland; Quebec in Canada, or in Texas, in the United States and nobody has been arrested or detained by the governments of these countries”, IWA noted.

IWA urged Nigerians to join in the campaign to restore freedom of speech and movement in Nigeria which has been abridged by the arrest and detention of Kanu.

“Nigeria cannot go back to violations of freedom of speech and press as witnessed in the past under military regime,” it added.

Smelling Ndi Ara.

Hmm..

Ultimatum hunh!! LETS SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO AFTER All THIS EPISODE OF MOUTH MAKING

the freedom of speech,association or movement is not absolute it comes with a responsibility, he Nnamundi kunu is using the media for treasonable acts and at such it contradicts his freedom of speech which is punishable under the same 1999 constitution as amended. so Igbo world order should be well learned and stop trying to use the constitution to their favour.

I thought he was released, was he arrested again?

FG is just wasting their time at the same time making him popular.

There is no trasonable offence here
The slave camp expired 2014
It should be disbanded
And fast
Or else it will blowup in every ones faces
The earlier the better

Mayor has endorsed this message.

They are calling on Nigerians for sympathy to rise in defense of Kanu's right to freedom of speech and expression but they refused to call on Kanu to desist in his harassment and denigration of Nigerians before he lost his freedom. Igbo World Assembly is a congregation of clowns.

Misguided ill-informed people
