A pro-Biafra group, Igboezue International, has asked the Federal
Government to drop its charges against the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The group made this demand in a statement on Friday.
The
Igboezue International also called for the unconditional release of
other non-violent freedom fighters still in detention, adding that the
conditions upon which Kanu was granted bail were unjustifiable.
The
statement partly read, “We condemn the bail conditions, which to us are
not only stringent but repugnant to natural justice, equity and good
conscience. It is also an infringement on Kanu’s fundamental human
rights of freedom of liberty and association as enshrined in Chapter 4
of 1979 and 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.’’
The
group commended Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, former Abia State
Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, and the Deputy Senate president, Ike
Ekweremadu, for standing by IPOB during the detention of its leader.
