The leaders of the Biafran and Yoruba self-determination struggles have urged the Nigerian government to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

 In a joint statement released on Saturday evening as self-determination leaders from both Yoruba Nation and Biafra met to launch a joint fight for freedom, the leaders demanded an immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the dissolved Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) from his current incarceration in the hands of the Nigerian Security services.

 The statement wondered why the Nigeria government had insisted in continued incarceration of Kanu after a Nigerian courts had ordered his release from unlawful captivity and detention.

The statement urged the Nigerian authority to obey the court order, claiming that the action of the government had defiled all logics of human decency and governmental discharges with the criminal neglect of its own court orders. The statement read during the launching of a major landmark collaboration between Yorubas and Biafra in the on-going fight for self-determination urged Buhari government to obey its own courts orders and stop the incarceration of the freedom fighter.

   The statement also accused Nigerian government of committing illegality against innocent people seeking freedom from oppression and wondered why Nigeria government keep disregarding its own legal system by disobeying court orders. It pointed to a recent victory that Yoruba self-determination icon, Dr Sunday Adeyemo Adeniyi (aka Igboho) scored at an Ibadan court case when Nigerian High Court declared that the siege laid on Igboho home in 2021 July 1, was illegal and against international law of decency and was uncalled for.

  Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, had sued the Nigerian Federal Government and the Department of State Security service, for the savage  incursion into his home, and barbarous destruction of, his properties in Ibadan on July 1, 2021when billions of Naira worth of properties and two of his aides were killed in cold blood, describing the action as a violation of his human and civil rights.

In the judgement of the case, the High Court awarded Igboho a sum of 20 billion Naira in damages against the Nigerian Federal Government and all its agents in the onslaught..

In the judgement, the court also handed out to the Federal government that self-determination fighters had a civil right to their actions as action was never illegal and that self- determination is an inalienable right of all nations.

 The statement added: ”Sunday Adeyemo’s advocacy for Yoruba self-determination is not a crime under any laws of Nigeria”, adding that right-thinking understand that the Nigerian authorities have been engaging in their accustomed unlawful manipulation of laws, especially about Sunday Igboho’s case.

 The statement  concluded: “We want the Nigerian government to know that we the peoples of Yoruba and Biafra stand firmly with Chief Sunday Igboho and will stand by him until he gets justice”
