Aba women have taken to the streets to protest the continual detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, despite the orders of the Appeal Court that discharged him.
Kanu has been in the custody of the Department of Security Service in Abuja since he was arrested in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria in June 2021.
PUNCH METRO had reported that Nnamdi Kanu was released on October 13 after the Court of Appeal threw out the last six counts of the federal government’s charges against him.
However, the federal government had requested the Court of Appeal to halt Kanu’s discharge pending the outcome of an appeal it had filed with the Supreme Court.
The protesting women called Kanu’s arrest and detention intolerable and demanded his immediate release.
The majority of the women wore masks and carried placards with various inscriptions, such as “Freedom for Biafra” and “Free Nnamdi Kanu.”
They also used the opportunity to denounce the terrorist group responsible for killing innocent people in the southeast region of Nigeria.
