Posted by Senator Shehu Sani, a former politician, has voiced his concern about Nnamdi Kanu’s ongoing detention in the Department of State Services’ (DSS) care. Kanu is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Speaking on Thursday while appearing on a Channels Television program, Senator Sani said that he had spent a significant amount of time in prison and would under no circumstances accept the Federal Government’s decision to detain the separatist despite a court ruling.
He believed that if the nation followed the law, the court’s decision to exonerate Kanu should have been upheld.
“As a prisoner who has spent so much time behind bars, there is no way that I will endorse a flagrant violation of the constitution and of essential human rights.
“A court has ordered Nnamdi Kanu’s release, and if we live in a nation that upholds the law and is dedicated to the rule of law, we should obey the law.
“The separatist struggle in the South Eastern region of Nigeria is one of the issues we currently face in Nigeria. You can see that all of those separatists once held the idea that the nation could not be divided if you look at their backgrounds. Along the way, something must have transpired, he said.
