According to him, it is unjust of the government to defy court orders that granted him bail while holding him in captivity.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on the federal government to release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to him, it is unjust of the government to defy court orders that granted him bail while holding him in captivity.
Recall that Kanu has been in the custody of the Department of State Security (DSS) since his extraordinary rendition from Kenya in 2021 under the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Supporting Sowore's call for his release, Atiku wrote: “The continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains an open sore on our nation’s conscience and a stain on our belief in the rule of law.
“Defying court orders that granted him bail is an abuse of power and an assault on justice.
“I, therefore, lend my voice in full support of the campaign led by Yele Sowore for his immediate release or due prosecution.
“We fail as patriots if we allow Kanu’s case to fester as yet another wound this nation refuses to heal.”
