The Ndi Na Asu Bia Socio-Cultural Organisation (NNABSCO) has denounced the ongoing detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), labeling it a “bogus trial” that undermines the rule of law due to the government’s disregard for multiple court orders for his release.
In a statement issued on October 17, 2025, in Asaba, Delta State, signed by President Kingsley Kainebi, Secretary Benjamin Ofochi-Atagana, and Patron Agada Cosmas Chike, NNABSCO described Kanu as a “prisoner of conscience” unjustly held for his advocacy.
The group criticized the Federal Government for selective justice, noting that others accused of similar or graver offenses have been freed, while Kanu remains detained, warning that such actions threaten national unity. NNABSCO urged immediate compliance with court rulings to release Kanu, stressing that adherence to judicial orders is essential for a just society. They also called on security agencies to respect constitutional rights to peaceful assembly and free expression, asserting that fairness and truth are vital for Nigeria’s peace and unity.
