Eko Hot Blog reports that Prince Emmanuel Kanu, younger brother of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has berated southeast governors for their silence over the prolonged detention of the agitator.
Speaking via an open letter, Emmanuel lamented that his brother’s fundamental human rights are being violated. “In recent events, it has become abundantly clear my brother, a law-abiding citizen and a prisoner of conscience, has been wrongfully held against his will and his fundamental human rights have been violated under your watch.“
He urged the governors to correct the wrong against the IPOB leader, adding that the charges against him are baseless and an attempt to silence his voice and undermine his campaign for social justice. “The charges brought against him are baseless and appear to be nothing more than an attempt to silence his voice and undermine his campaign for social justice.“
Kanu insisted that their brother is of impeccable character and an advocate of justice. “Kanu is a man of impeccable character and a strong advocate for justice, freedom, and equality. He has consistently stood up for the righteous causes in our society, challenging the status quo and working tirelessly to bring about positive change.“
He warned that Biafra would hold the governors accountable if anything should happen to Nnamdi Kanu. “Kanu is gravely ill and dying slowly. Biafra land will hold you all accountable should anything happen to him.“
The letter reads, “I demand you take immediate and decisive action to secure the release of my brother. I call for a thorough and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his arrest and detention, holding accountable those responsible for these egregious violations. “Furthermore, I urge you to ensure all charges against him are dropped, as they lack any substantiated evidence.“
