By Chief Innocent Okeke

As I marked my birthed today June 27, 2023, I have, like an elder should do, been contemplating the issues plaguing our beloved country, with a focus on the ongoing insecurity in the South East and how best to put an end to it. As thoughts streamed through my mind, I came to realize that the key to resolving this problem rests on the Federal Government's adherence to Court orders/judgement, which has discharged and acquitted Nnamdi Kanu. FG should also listen to the advice of seasoned Nigerians, and ultimately release Nnamdi Kanu. It is widely believed that Kanu's continued detention only serves to fuel the insecurity in the region.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a prominent Igbo leader and the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). He was arrested and detained by the Nigerian government for advocating for the welfare of the Igbo people from Nigeria. Since his detention, there have been growing calls for his release by both local and international stakeholders.

The need to release Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government cannot be overemphasized, as it will help to promote peace and unity in Nigeria.
The continued detention of Kanu has further deepened the already existing mistrust and resentment between the Igbo youths and the Nigerian Government.
It has also fueled agitations and increased tensions in different parts of the country.

Furthermore, Kanu's detention is a clear violation of his Fundamental Human Rights, Rule of Law and Due Process, including the right to freedom of expression and the right to a fair trial.
It is also against the spirit of justice, equity, and fairness, which are fundamental values in any democratic society.

The continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is an abuse of court orders.
In 2017, Kanu was released on bail after being incarcerated for years on charges of treasonable felony with stringent conditions, which he met.
However, he was re-arrested in June 2021 under a questionable process which the Federal Government called extraordinary rendition and has been held in detention ever since.

Since his rearrest through extraordinary rendition from far way Kenya, the authorities have not formally charged him with any new crime, nor have they allowed him freedom like every other Nigerian.

Consequently, the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu is a violation of his Fundamental Rights to liberty and a gross abuse of Court Order.
The Rule of Law is a fundamental pillar of democracy, and the continued detention of Kanu undermines this principle.

The authorities must abide by the court orders and grant Kanu his right to freedom.
The disregard for the rule of law in Kanu's case does not only affect him but the entire justice system and the citizens' trust in the judiciary.

It is my sincere request that Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu immediately and unconditionally release Nnamdi Kanu, as I firmly believe he has the ability to do so promptly. President Buhari's administration politicized Kanu's release, and I expect Tinubu to take a different, more compassionate approach.

The release of Kanu would assist in calming the ongoing strife between the Federal Government and rebellious youth factions throughout Nigeria. This would enable negotiations and harmonious resolution of crises, which is necessary for long-term progress and nation-building.

The forthcoming governorship election in Imo state on November 11 is a matter of concern for me.
Various local government areas such as Oru East, Oru West, Oguta, Orlu, Okigwe, Orsu, and Njaba are now ghost areas and have all been taken over by insecurity caused by both State and non State actors.

The incessant harm they have caused to people and their properties has led to an atmosphere of fear, and it is expected that voter turnout may be low.
However, if Nnamdi Kanu is released as ordered by Court of competent jurisdiction it is likely that these hoodlums will lay down their arms and engage in dialogue with the Federal Government. This may bring about an end to the threat to the lives and properties of people in Imo state and the wider South East region.

In conclusion, the release of Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government is not only necessary to promote peace and unity in Nigeria, but it is also a crucial step towards upholding the fundamental human rights of every Nigerian citizen. The government should, therefore, consider releasing Kanu, drop any charges against him, and engage in constructive dialogue with agitating groups to find a lasting solution to the country's challenges.

I pray that wise counsel will prevail in the corridors of power in the Federal Government.

A word is enough for the wise.

Where was Okeke to put sense in Kanu to desist from his broadcast in Oct 2020 commanding terrorists in Lagos to destroy properties, vandalize the state and kill the current President? Was he blind and deaf at that time?
