₦airaland Forum

The Forum of Victims of Separatist Violence (FVSV), a coalition representing families of slain civilians, traders, farmers, and security personnel, on Sunday, voiced strong opposition to recent calls for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement signed by Chief Dr. Ernest Ezenwo, Chairman, and Mrs. Godiya Sunday, Secretary, the forum said it speaks “from a place of deep pain and unhealed wounds,” urging the Federal Government to resist political pressure and allow the judiciary to complete Kanu’s trial in accordance with the law.

The group called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government to stand firm, uphold the principle of separation of powers, and allow the judiciary to handle the case without interference.

The statement read: “We speak not from politics, but from sorrow. From the graves of our loved ones. From the burnt remains of our homes and businesses. From the silence of children who will never again hear their parents’ voices.

“We have watched with anguish as some groups call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the very man whose hate-filled messages and reckless incitements inspired violence, killings, and destruction. We say no, not out of hatred, but out of love for justice and peace.

“Releasing him under political pressure would not heal this nation, it would deepen the pain, mock the sacrifices of our fallen heroes, and betray the blood of those who stood to defend Nigeria’s unity."

The group accused Kanu of being the originator of hate-filled and inciting rhetoric that allegedly inspired waves of violence, killings, and destruction across parts of the country, particularly in the Southeast.

The FVSV warned that releasing Kanu under political pressure would amount to mocking the sacrifices of Nigeria’s security personnel and innocent citizens who lost their lives defending national unity.

He said: “Our gallant soldiers, police officers, and others died in the line of duty, protecting citizens and the flag. Their widows still cry. Their children still ask, ‘Why did Daddy not come home?’ Their courage must not be rewarded with injustice.

“We are not asking for vengeance. We are asking for fairness. We are asking for a Nigeria where the law protects both the weak and the brave.”

The forum appealed to Nigerians to let justice, rather than politics or sentiment, guide national decisions, adding that, “Let the cries of the victims and the blood of our heroes remind us that peace without justice is merely silence before the next storm.”

ANYBODY campaigning for the release of Kanu is a TERRORIST and an ENEMY of the Federation.

The amount of CARNAGE his violent rhetorics caused in the South East is unprecedented.

People were being DRAGGED out of their vehicles and beaten or murdered in HIS name.
They DESTROYED people's cars and businesses in HIS name.

The ONLY problem I see here is the DELAY in finalising his case and giving him a suitably HARSH sentence.

But this is Nigeria where terrorists are CODDLED and treated with levity.
So it'll not be surprising if he somehow goes scot-free after DESTROYING countless lives and properties.

You mean the same federal government of Nigeria that has released five thousand Boko haram this year, given numerous bandits peace deal and negotiates with terrorists?

But releasing leader of the Fulani herdsmen destroying lives and properties all over Nigeria means love for Nigeria abi ?

Tinubu that released him is not an enemy of Nigeria abi? because, Miyetti Allah leader is not Igbo...

Releasing him under political pressure would not heal this nation, it would deepen the pain, mock the sacrifices of our fallen heroes, and betray the blood of those who stood to defend Nigeria’s unity."

Those 2 lines gave them off completely, an average Igbo man will hardly talk about the unity of Nigeria when complaining about injustice, looks so much like a paid script, We know the people who emphasize more about the unity of Nigeria than peace and justice..

Bodejo had his day in a Federal High Court. Do not provide misleading information.

Bodejo’s freedom follows a ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja, which cleared him of any wrongdoing in connection with the assault on a retired senior military officer in December 2024.

just wanted to ask
What do you call the people who support the government that releases and negotiate with terrorists. What do you also call such government?

How about a government that pardons criminals….
Can you see the relationships??

That is a different case na, una no dey read?

Look at the date na, Tinubu arrested him on terrorism charges and droped the charges and released him, he still went and committed another offense by assaulting a military officer, imagine a terrorist having so much freedom to even assault military officers under Tinubu...

He was arrested again for that, so it is a different case...

Look at you people with your hatred, throw common sense and logic away for hatred and tribalism, destroying the country with injustice and selective justice...

You are playing fast and loose with the truth here. While a lot of people (including me) found it controversial, 'Operation Safe Corridor' - which has resulted in the release and rehabilitation of about 2,000 members of Boko Haram - actually comes with stringent conditions. Those allowed to participate are mainly low-risk combatants who are essentially canon fodder. They have to sign up to a de-radicalisation, re-orientation, and schooling program, too.

Nnamdi Kanu's case is already being tried in the court. It needs to be allowed to reach its logical conclusion first.

But Miyetti Allah leader was also already charged to court on the same terrorism charges like MNK, why didn't they allow the case reach a logical conclusion first before dropping the charges?

They have abandoned thread as expected, when faced with facts.

The bias is much, in a bid to hate on the Igbos, they keep destroying the country, yet don't want the Igbos to leave...
