Igbo community urges Tinubu to release Kanu

The Abuja Chapter of the Igbo Community Association has called on President Bola Tinubu to listen to advice from well-meaning Nigerians and the international community by releasing IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group made this call in a statement by its President General, Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe, stressing that it was watching developments around the jailed IPOB leader with keen interest.

While describing Nnamdi Kanu’s imprisonment as injustice against marginalized people, the group stated that the imprisonment is resonating negatively throughout the South-East zone and the diaspora.

“The judgment of November 20, 2025, smacks of judicial recklessness. It is similar to the incidents that threatened to end the existence of Nigeria during the period leading up to the pogrom of 1966.

“The Igbo Community Association, FCT, is concerned about what the resultant effects of this judgment would have in the South East and other regions in Nigeria.

“With a saddened heart, the Igbo Community Association FCT calls on the Tinubu administration to listen to the voice of the people and release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from prison. The President should also listen to the voices of forty-four legislators of the National Assembly who have joined the call for President Tinubu to seek a political solution to the Nnamdi Kanu impasse.

We deserve to be treated as Nigerians. Nnamdi Kanu is a Nigerian. He deserves to be treated as one,” the group said in a statement
