Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the apex socio-cultural organisation of Ndigbo globally, has renewed its call for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention, four years after he was arrested and subsequently renditioned to Nigeria from Kenya.
Dr Ezechi Chukwu, the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, made the call in a statement on Friday in Enugu.
He appealed to President Bola Tinubu to deploy his constitutional powers and diplomatic instruments to release Mazi Kanu from continuing incarceration in the spirit of equity, fairness and inclusive justice.
According to him, Friday, June 27, 2025 marks four years of Kanu’s unlawful arrest and detention in Kenya, prior to his extradition to Nigeria.
“The question of Nnamdi Kanu’s continued detention poses a moral burden on the corporate integrity of the Nigerian judicial system.
“Since his process of extradition from Kenya is unlawful and the basis for his arraignment questionable, one wonders at the rational for detaining Kanu for four years without justice,” he stressed.
