Sowore demands release of Nnamdi Kanu

The Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC in the 2023 elections, Omoyele Sowore, has called for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

The #RevolutionNow agitator made this call in an interview with Arise TV on Thursday, following the discontinuation of his case by the Federal Government.

He reiterated that there would not be peace and progress in Nigeria without justice.

“Let me use this opportunity to ask for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. It’s time that reasoning prevails over the issue of Nnamdi Kanu. This whole thing was unnecessary.

“If you’re not going to continue with Buhari’s policies of ruining the economy, destroying the dollars, don’t continue with his repressive policies.

“It’s time to apologize to all the persons that Buhari touched in the last eight years of his administration and prosecute all the officials used in committing atrocities under his government,” he said.

Recall that Kanu has been in detention since June 2021 after the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, in partnership with the Kenyan government, extradited him to Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Sowore said he deserves an apology from the Nigerian government for his arrest and detention in 2019.
