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 […]

Why Igbo youths avoid army recruitment IPOB counsel explains

Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, has explained why many Igbo youths avoid enlisting in the Nigerian Army.dailypost+3 He said the low participation of young people from the South East in military recruitment is not because they lack courage, but because they do not trust the army and other security institutions. Ejimakor argued that years of perceived marginalisation, unfair treatment and security operations in the region have created deep resentment and suspicion among many youths. He noted that military campaigns and clashes in the South East, especially those linked to IPOB and other groups, have reinforced the belief that the army does not protect Igbo interests.dailypost+2 The lawyer was reacting to comments by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, who had appealed to South East youths to join the army and help defend the […]

MASSOB Hails Compliance With Biafra Day Sit-at-Home

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has praised the high compliance with the sit-at-home order declared across the South-East to mark Biafra Remembrance Day on May 30. MASSOB said residents of Biafra land overwhelmingly obeyed the directive, which saw towns, villages, and cities in the South-East come to a complete standstill as people stayed indoors in honour of fallen Biafra heroes and heroines of the 1967–1970 civil war. The group, which earlier declared May 30, 2026, as a sit-at-home exercise in the spirit of “true Biafranism and brotherhood among Biafra agitators and Biafrans in general,” described the peaceful compliance as a demonstration of unity and respect for the Biafra struggle. MASSOB stressed that it did not molest, compel, or intimidate anybody to observe the stay-at-home exercise, adding that its members were instructed to respect […]

Biafra Day: Umuahia Shuts Down as Residents Observe Sit-at-Home

Umuahia, the capital of Abia State, came to a complete standstill on May 30 as residents observed a total sit-at-home order to mark Biafra Remembrance Day (Biafra Day). The streets of Umuahia were virtually deserted, with shops, markets, motor parks, banks, and schools all shut down in full compliance with the sit-at-home directive issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in honour of fallen Biafra heroes and heroines. Only occasional movements of tricycles and a few vehicles were sighted on the empty roads. Some youths were seen playing soccer on deserted streets, while other residents gathered at the entrances of their premises, discussing national developments. No security agents were spotted parading the streets, and there were no reported clashes between security forces and IPOB supporters at the time of reporting. The city maintained a gloomy, quiet atmosphere, far from […]

Tension as youths protest heavy security in Onitsha markets

Tension has gripped the commercial city of Onitsha as traders and youths protested the closure of Onitsha Market ordered by Anambra State governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. Fierce‑looking security operatives in armoured personnel carriers were stationed at the market entrances, while many traders watched from a distance.​ Soludo had vowed to shut the market for one week over traders’ continued observance of the Monday sit‑at‑home, warning that if they still failed to open next Monday, the closure could be extended to one month and the market even demolished. He stated that anyone unwilling to trade on Mondays should “leave Anambra and go elsewhere,” insisting the state cannot afford further economic losses.​ On Tuesday, residents were surprised to see heavy patrols by security operatives around the market area as youths trooped out, chanting solidarity songs for jailed IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Otti says visit to Nnamdi Kanu is about peace not politics

Abia State Governor Alex Otti says his recent visit to detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu at the Sokoto Correctional Centre was driven purely by a search for dialogue and peace, not by any future political ambition. He spoke while receiving the Abia Diaspora Commission and Abia Global Medical Mission team in Umuahia, reacting to a viral video accusing him of using the visit to build higher political plans. Otti said differing opinions are normal in a democracy but insisted that disagreement does not automatically make critics right. He stressed that, as Kanu is from Abia and specifically from Umuahia North Local Government Area, visiting him was the responsible thing for a governor from his home state to do. The governor restated that he has no intention of contesting any election after completing his tenure. He said that once he finishes […]

Appeal Court strikes out Nnamdi Kanu’s rights violation case

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has struck out an appeal by convicted IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, ruling that his case alleging violations of fundamental rights by the Director General of the DSS and the Attorney-General of the Federation lacked merit and had become academic. The court held that Kanu’s complaint could no longer stand following his November 20 conviction for terrorism offences by a Federal High Court and his subsequent life imprisonment and remand in prison custody.​ In the lead judgment, Justice Boloukuromo Moses Ugo said that once Kanu’s counsel, Maxwell Opara, confirmed that his client was now held at Sokoto prison, the request to be moved from the DSS facility to Kuje prison was no longer one the appellate court could grant. The judge added that Kanu had previously indicated a preference for prison custody, so his prayers […]

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 […]
