Kanu’s continued detention can consume Nigeria – Ohanaeze youths

The Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has warned that the continued detention of the Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu by the operatives of the Department of State Services ( DSS) despite court rulings could spell doom for Nigeria.

OYC, in a statement issued on Sunday, expressed shock that four days after an Abuja High Court gave order for Kanu’s unconditional release, the authorities of DSS have “continued to hold him behind bars”.

The press statement issued by the National President of OYC, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Secretary, Nnabuike Okwu , strongly condemned the attitude of the DSS over the detained Biafran activist.

OYC, therefore, appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, to prevail on the authorities of the DSS to free the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the interest of peace.

According to OYC, the looming danger of renewed protests by Kanu’s followers, sympathisers and Biafran agitators was capable of consuming Nigeria and must be avoided.

OYC said that it might be difficult for it to again, calm Igbo youths whose patients were already running out over Kanu’s detention which they see as uncalled for.

The statement read in part “We are pleading with the federal government to as a matter of sacrifice for the continued leave and unity of Nigeria to please release Nnamdi Kanu. This call has become necessary because it will be extremely difficult for us to continue to calm his followers and sympathisers whose see his detention as a provocation.OYC, therefore, appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, to prevail on the authorities of the DSS to free the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the interest of peace.
