US lawmaker seeks Nnamdi Kanu’s release

James, who represents Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, urged the Nigerian government to free Kanu and respect his fundamental rights. He described Kanu’s continued detention as a violation of international human rights norms and cited previous United Nations opinions on the case. “The detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a clear example. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention called for his unconditional release, yet he remains in solitary confinement,” the lawmaker said during his remarks on Capitol Hill. He also accused the Nigerian authorities of enabling the “slaughter of innocent Nigerians” and called on Washington to take a firmer stand on abuses. Kanu, leader of IPOB, has been held in Nigeria on terrorism-related and secessionist charges, despite repeated legal and political appeals for his release. In November 2025, 44 federal lawmakers in Nigeria wrote President Bola Tinubu, asking him to […]

West African deportees sue over US third-country expulsions to Ghana

Eleven West African nationals deported from the United States have sued the Ghanaian government, alleging unlawful detention after being sent to Ghana under a third-country deportation arrangement.bbc+1 The deportees, who are not Ghanaian citizens, say they were held in a military detention facility after arrival and later moved in ways their lawyers describe as illegal and opaque. Their legal team argues that the Ghanaian government has no basis to keep them in custody, since they did not violate any law in Ghana.jurist+2 The case stems from Washington’s growing use of third-country deportation deals, which have seen migrants sent to countries other than their own, including Ghana. Rights advocates say the program raises serious due process and non-refoulement concerns, especially when deportees have no ties to the receiving country.politico+1 Reports indicate that some of the deportees were later expelled from Ghana […]

ICPC blocked El‑Rufai’s doctor, wife from seeing him — Son alleges

Mohammed Bello, son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El‑Rufai, has alleged that operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) blocked his father’s personal doctor and wife from seeing him in custody. El‑Rufai is currently being held at the ICPC facility in Abuja on the orders of a court over an ongoing corruption trial. In a statement shared on social media, Bello claimed that the ex‑governor’s personal doctor arrived at the ICPC office around 3pm on Thursday to discuss the results of recent medical tests but was turned back by officials. “Officials at the agency blocked the doctor from seeing him, claiming that written permission from the ICPC Chairman was required,” he wrote, describing the move as a direct violation of a court order granting his father unrestricted access to his doctors. He further alleged […]

I’ve Activated Strategy to Secure Nnamdi Kanu’s Release — Gov Otti

Abia State Governor Alex Otti announced he has set into motion a strategy to secure the release of convicted Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu. Otti shared that he previously initiated efforts during Kanu’s trial and remains in active communication with “the highest authorities” on political options for Kanu’s freedom. The governor, speaking through his media aide, emphasized dialogue, collaboration with other well-meaning Nigerians, and a peaceful approach. Otti cautioned politicians against exploiting Kanu’s case for personal gain, saying the matter demands compassion and courage from the federal government to resolve permanently. He acknowledged the immense hurt caused by Kanu’s detention in Abia and the wider South-East, recalling his consistent position against violent responses and calling for a return to diplomatic, non-violent problem-solving.

Heavy Security at Sokoto Prison Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Arrival

Security has been heightened around the Sokoto Custodial Centre after the transfer of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), following his life sentence on terrorism charges in Abuja. The court ordered his relocation to a “protective prison” due to previous prison breaks at Kuje. His lawyers and family confirmed the move, expressing concern about his safety and ability to consult with legal counsel. Eyewitnesses observed an unusual presence of armed personnel, with trucks of soldiers entering the premises. The Nigerian Correctional Service confirmed Kanu was in custody but would not confirm his exact location. Igbo leaders and groups—including Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Igbo National Council, and MASSOB—have rejected Kanu’s life sentence as unjust, calling for presidential intervention and warning that the judgment may fuel further insecurity and radicalisation in the South-East. The Minister of State for Foreign […]
