A Member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Friday in Aba, Abia State held a peaceful protest against the prolonged detention of Nnamdi Kanu.
The protest came with a warning that the 2023 general elections will not hold in the Southeast if Kanu remains in DSS custody.
It was a coordinated protest, which was held in the three major local government areas of Aba North, Aba South, and Osisioma LGAs respectively.
Our correspondent gathered that the IPOB members had wanted to take to the commercial city to hold the protest, but had to reschedule their plans when news filtered that security agencies in the state operating in Aba got intelligence of the planned protest and had mounted their intelligence units at some strategic spots.
Some IPOB members who spoke anonymously confirmed the protest.
“The same judiciary in several judgments has asked the federal government to free our leader. Some asked the Federal Government to pay him compensation.
“Some of the courts asked that they should take our leader back to Kenya where they illegally abducted him from.
“This is part of our renewed warning signal to the Federal Government that they should forget the 2023 elections in the Southeast if they continue to detain Nnamdi Kanu,” a top IPOB member who preferred anonymity said.
