The ruling on Nnamdi Kanu, the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been postponed, according to the youth arm of the leading Igbo sociocultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide.
In order to prevent an impending confrontation, the group has urged the Nigerian government, which is led by President Bola Tinubu, to free the IPOB leader.
Igboayaka O. Igbo Sayaka, the national president general of the council, stated to journalists on Saturday in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, that the Nigerian government’s failure to release Kanu is a glaring indication that the Southeast, which is dominated by Igbos, is a political prisoner in Nigeria.

The organisation referred to Kanu’s ongoing “derogatory incarceration” while in the Department of State Service’s (DSS) care as “a deliberate act to perpetually keep the Igbos in servitude and fiefdom as political captives in Nigeria.”
Igboayaka criticised the Supreme Court for postponing its decision in Kanu’s case until December 15, 2023, saying that it did so “while j secretly with the executives, thereby condoning executive rascality, impunity, and lawlessness, as evidenced in the Supreme Court’s encouragement and/or supportation of illegitimate rulers such as Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
“If Nigeria is a country where there’s a genuine, constitutional sense of the power separation between the executive and the judiciary, the conspiracy of long debilitating and/or annoying adjournment of Nnamdi Kanu’s case too far away December 2023 wouldn’t be conceivable but for, unfortunately, the sick judiciary of ours in Nigeria which has, hitherto, been the most corrupt judiciary in Africa without any iota of independence.

, “It’s obvious that Nigeria doesn’t want to implement the 3Rs introduced by Gen. Gowon which are Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Reconciliation for it is surely clear that the power divers of Nigeria do not want to treat Igbos as true Nigerians.
“In every ramification, the federal government has treated the Igbo as slaves since 1970 and the slavery treatment against the Igbos is still in continuance against the Igbos in Nigeria as can be seen in police, army, navy, immigration, air force, and other federal agencies.
“The federal government of Nigeria doesn’t have any good intentions for Igbos except to keep them in slavery and econo-political docility. Since 2015 of President Muhamma to the present illegal, illegitimate occupation of Aso Rock by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Igbos have suffered huge and clear tribulations of extra-judicial massacre, killings and a deliberate ethnic cleansing against their constitutional rights in Nigeria.

“It is simply obvious that Igbos are rejected in Nigeria and there’s no hope and guarantee of the lives, future and progress of the Igbos in the present political structure of oppressive contraption called Nigeria, Comrade Igboayaka lamented.”
He therefore warned the Nigerian government and leaders, “whose only interests are in the milking dry of Nigeria’s natural resources, that the neocolonialism tendency that is hitting up, the marginalization of Igbos and the continuous detention of Nnamdi Kanu in prison are calling for another civil, tribal war where Nigerians, and not baboons, would be soaked in their blood.
“There is nothing again that appeals to the spirit of any true Igbo person to be part of Nigeria except conducting a referendum for the indigenous Igbos,” adding that “Nigeria’s unity simply means an orchestrated conspiracy to keep Igbos as slaves. Therefore Igbos must rise with a laudable stratagem to reject this slavery by discovering a new nation for themselves, Comrade Igboayaka stated”

According to the OYC President, President Tinubu’s administration in Nigeria “must realise that holding Nnamdi Kanu and disobeying several courts that have set him free is simply nursing a beast that would cause anarchy leading to the destruction of Nigeria.”
“In the light of the above, I honestly urge the Nigerian Government to earnestly work for a possible referendum for the Igbos to avert a looming bloody crisis that would soon engulf Nigeria.”
