A pro-democracy group, Foundation for Environmental Rights Advocacy and Development (FENRAD), has called on the Attorney General of the Federation and

Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to produce the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in court come October 21, 2021.

Kanu was rearrested at Kenya in a combined team operation between foreign security intelligence outfit and the Nigeria government and was extradited to the country to continue his trial, after he fled Nigeria following a military attack, during the operation codenamed ‘Python Dance,’ on his home at Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia while still answering to allegations preferred against him.

FENRAD further stated that southeast had lost billions in terms of revenue and inflows even as education in the region has been affected because of the heightened tension in the region. FENRAD stated, “the AGF himself hinted at a possible emergency proclamation over Anambra to enable INEC to conduct election in a state that, in addition, to call for secession, had been marred by killings and threats to life with governorship election less than a month away.

Parts of the release by FENRAD stated, “Since the operation leading to Kanu’s interception in a foreign country, an exercise which did not follow the required diplomatic protocols and international law instruments to which Nigeria is a signatory, Kanu’s proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB had declared ‘Ghost Mondays’ or Mondays ‘sit-at-home’ over the entire Southeast as a protest measure against the continued detention of its leader.

NnekaOnyema1 Not only producing him but release him unconditionally or heaven will fall.. All this intimidation is not moving us at all..

If they like, nobody is begging them.

FG wants tension in South East to be able to militarize southeast in order to rig anambra election to favour APC. Anything to create tension in the south east is the plan.

Ok
