Nnamdi Kanu
Nnamdi Kanu a political activist based in the United Kingdom, is a leading advocate for restoration of the nation of Biafra and its independence from Nigeria.[1]: He is a leading member of Biafra nationalist organization, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and the director of London-based radio station Radio Biafra.[1]: Nnamdi Kanu, being a historian deemed it important to pursue the course for which his Father gave his all for. Also, the politicians from the same Biafra location, who are well placed in government, and have eaten from the national treasury have distanced themselves from the struggle. They publicly called the peaceful protesters evil and declare that the protests are uncalled for. Nnamdi decided to take the bull by the horn since the people who are supposed to step up and represent the Biafran masses have been bribed and cannot take a stand on their own. He paid the price being unjustly abducted and locked up without due process because of the flexible and dependent nature of the Nigerian legal system. He is still in detention at the moment.

Arrest

On October 18, 2015, it was reported that Mr Kanu had been arrested in Lagos State by Nigeria’s secret police the Department of State Services (DSS).[1]: [2] Mr Kanu had told his solicitors that he was, on 14th October, 2015, arrested by the agents of the Federal Government of Nigeria, the State Security Service (SSS) in his hotel room i.e. Golden Tulip Essential Hotel Ikeja, Lagos State.[3] The solicitors in a press briefing said, between 14th and 17th October, 2015 their clients where about were unknown until 18th of October, 2015, when the Press Media broke the news of his arrest and detention by the SSS in Abuja.[4] The news of the arrest of Mr Kanu generated mass protests across parts of Delta State, Enugu State, Rivers State, Abia State, and Anambra State.[5]

Continued Detention

On 20 October 2015, Vanguard announced that Mr Kanu had been released on bail after a secret arraignment at Magistrate Court,Wuse 11.[6] However, the bail seemed "controversial" and there were claims the DSS announced the bail only "to calm the angry people of Biafra".[7] On October 19, 2015, it was reported that Mr Kanu had been granted bail.[8] Although the bail conditions were stringent some of which required the Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property within Abuja municipality, a level 16 officer in the Ministry, Mr Kanu's lawyer said they eventually met the requirements in full. However, “upon the issuance of the Form 36,the court ordeal went to execute the order but came back unsuccessful. He was unable to produce the prisoner.[6] The lawyer, Vincent Obetta, called the continued detention of the activist despite meeting his bail conditions "a clash between judiciary and executive" in a democratic Nigeria. According to Mr Obetta, "I have not seen or heard any place where a court grants bail and the person is not released. Under UN and Africa charter, it is enshrined that once bail is granted, you release the person upon meeting the bail conditions. We are sliding to days of Decree 2 and 4 of 1984. This is pure Dictatorship.” [9]

==Freedom in Nigeria==nnn Brendalyn had noted that chapter four of the Nigerian constitution guarantees Nigerians the right to life, personal liberty, freedom of expression, and freedom to own property. "Notwithstanding these provisions, the government has detained human rights crusaders unlawfully, continued attacks on students and academics and has taken steps to muzzle the press," the author wrote.[10]:126 Protection Against False Accusation (Decree No. 4,1984), drafted on March 29,1984, was the most dreaded, most repressive and the last press law enacted in Nigeria. It was promulgated during the military regime of Major General Buhari which did not take kindly to press criticisms.[11] “Concerning the Decree 4 of 1984, I have to assure you that the time for that is over.
