The European Union has responded to
the issue of the continued detention of
Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafra agitators
and said it is monitoring his trial.

This was contained in a letter signed by
Federica Mogherini who is the vice
president of the European Commission
to Members of the European Parliament
who were signatories to a letter to him
sent in December 2016 accusing Nigeria
of human rights abuse.

Julie Ward who is a member of the EU
has been supporter and advocate of
Biafra and has spoken strongly against
the detention of Kanu.

In his response dated February 13,
Mogherini said since the beginning of
Kanu’s trial, the EU has been monitoring
it and said Biafra agitators should be
allowed to protest and express
themselves as long as it is within the
scope of the constitution.

She wrote: “I fully share your concern on
the violence that has erupted in relation
to the Biafra movement. Individuals
should be allowed to protest and express
themselves freely as long as they exercise
this right in a peaceful manner. Their
prosecution, if founded on facts, should be
carried out in full compliance of the rule
of law, their human rights and judicial
due process.”

The European Commission vice president
said with the European Development
Fund, Nigeria is expected to fulfil human
rights commitments as 166 million euros
was allocated to support the “fairness,
transparency and accessibility of the
justice sector governance reform and the
fight against corruption.”

Mogherini said the EU raises human
rights concern with Nigeria at every
opportunity and promised that this will
also be reiterated “through concerted
effort, including parliamentary contacts.”

buhari has made kanu very famous

I see

Man this is getting interesting if this true. Nigerian government is buying more rope to hang itself.

If it were not for Nnamdi Kanu, a lot of Nigerians would not have known that self determination is an inalienable right.

Igbo ndi oma

Ok

some people don't understand simple English. The moment they hear EU, they think they have seen rescue team. that letter is just a normal and unbiased reply from an office to which a latter was sent to. the lady in her letter did not indict the FG neither did she exonerate the FG of any wrong doing do far. so what is the celebration all about?

Buhari is perhaps the dullest entity to rule Nigeria.

He just believes everything is by order and arrest.

He should kwantinue until Nigeria scatter for his head. He is just too dull to see a trap.

and where did you see any celebrations? In the comments? Or in ur warped brain? I thought you were a master of common english? And you interpreted just few comments as celebrations? Pls drop that ur michael west dictionary and consult advanced learners for a comprehensive definition of the word "celebration" except if you are saying you are jittery about the news, then come out plain and say so

Cessation is not in our constitution

The constitution says Kanu is a criminal so EU just confirmed it

Good one, more to come from international communities.

When you fight a just course in an unjust manner. Then your course become unjust... Agitate, protest but don't disturb commercial activities of innocent Nigerians. And your freedom will be guaranteed

To God be the glory.

Freedom doesn't come easily but comes by struggle. A freedom delayed is not a freedom denied.

Surely one day we shall be free whether Buhari likes it or not.

Igbos!this must be a joke

Story, na so they will monitor till 2035..yeye

Nigeria poor human rights record especially under buhari would eventually catch up with her. by the way,i think that northerners are upto something concerning buhari.the secrecy around him suggests so.

Even the cone headed ones that always claim to be sophisticated don't know , or maybe they know, or it could be that their problem is jealousy and hatred, who knows ?

Nothing will happen. The EU can monitor all they want but cannot interfere. IPOB are drowning and clutching at straws

Expressing frustration through cursing, wailing and spewing trash will not make Kanu to be released.

I thought it was a deliberate strategy of the Dilector for Buhari to arrest him so he can unleash his one million soldiers.

Is Buhari actually holding you guys back?

Does he stop anyone from leaving Nigeria?

an Afonja.

The deaf and dumb Dullard will not listen and hid to advice until he is dragged like a common thief to the hague for hanging

nigeria must break it does not the eastern ppl those who are comfortable with nigeria are free

This govt shaa, they lack strategy.
Bubu came into power, while trying to suppress radio biafra, made it famous in the process.
Tried it on Nnamdi kanu, made him famous.
Tried it on GEJ, made him famous.
Tried it on FFK, made him famous and a fearless opposition.
Tried it on Fayose, made him famous and out spoken.
Tried it on last administration, now making them look like they had everything under control.
Tried it on biafra, now he has given them more voice and international recognition.
Tried it on Niger Delta, same as biafra.
Used social media to get to power, now they are fighting it.


They never learn, everything is working against them, and they made it so..

Not my business shaaaaa.

Afonjas as usual.

They - Osus and Ojukwus -deceived their gullible people with

1.UN invitation,
2.AU's recognition,
3.beer parlor embassy in Spain,
4.Cameron threatened PMB,
5.Putin threatened Osinbajo,
7.Trump was voted in by Biafrausters for achievement of Biafrau'd,
8. ICC will invite Buratai next week (it is over 6months now)
9. Biafrau's currency is in circulation,
10. circulation of fake Biafrau.d's passport that can only give you free entrance into the Lagoon,
11. flying imaginary Biafrau.d airline

and now this lie again.

U na no dey tire to dey swindle your own people?

SOme people are dead because of all these lies now, whereas the major actors are lounging with their families some where nice.
