Nnamdi Kanu's special counsel has called on President Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi to make the release of detained Igbo youths a top priority before the 2027 general elections. The lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, argued that imprisoning Igbo youth for peacefully advocating for Biafra or self-determination is both immoral and politically indefensible.
He urged the political leaders to release the thousands of Igbo detainees who are languishing in prisons without trial, including those held at Wawa Barracks. Ejimakor emphasized that self-determination is a legitimate aspiration under international law and must not be treated as a crime. He demanded that Tinubu, Obi, and Atiku make the unconditional release of detained youths and justice for Biafra agitators key campaign issues and make it a condition for their continued support.
