The representative for Delta North Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko, stated that the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is being held unfairly.
Nwoko made this remark during an interview on Sunday Politics, a program on Channels Television that was monitored by DAILY POST.
It is important to note that the pro-Biafra leader has been in custody since 2021 after being returned from Kenya.
He has made multiple court appearances regarding charges of treason and has recently dismissed his entire legal team, opting to represent himself in court.
In response, the Delta State lawmaker remarked, "Nnamdi Kanu has been in custody for quite some time. I believe he is being held unjustly. His imprisonment is a significant factor contributing to the unrest in the Southeast."
