Senate rejects motion seeking release of Nnamdi Kanu, says matter still in court | TheCable

July 26, 2023 8:44 PMThe senate on Wednesday rejected a request for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra .

The motion was titled “Condemning the disruptive nature of sit-at-home Demonstrations in south-east Nigeria”.According to NAN, Izunaso said thousands of innocent lives had been lost since the sit-at-home order started, while properties worth over a trillion naira had been destroyed.“When people are forced to stay at home and businesses remain closed, productivity declines and income is reduced, thereby affecting livelihoods and economic growth,” he said.

He said if the activities of Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Kanu, who was issuing the illegal sit-at-home orders were not checked, he might succeed in corrupting the minds of Nigerian youths and turning them against the government.Advertisement
