Detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has expressed confidence that he will be granted bail before the end of April 2025, marking four years in detention.
Kanu shared this optimism during a visit from the President-General of the Igbo Community Association (ICA) in Abuja, Engr. Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe, at the Department of State Services (DSS) facility where he is being held.
Following the visit, Ezenekwe released a statement highlighting Kanu’s disappointment over the absence of strong Igbo leadership advocating for his release. He urged renewed efforts to champion the interests of the Igbo people.
Despite his prolonged detention, Kanu was described as being in high spirits, appearing healthier and more relaxed. He reaffirmed his call for a referendum on self-determination and maintained that he had committed no crime beyond urging his people to awaken to their rights.
Kanu also expressed unwavering confidence in his legal team, emphasizing his belief that his release is imminent.
Ezenekwe used the occasion to appeal to President Bola Tinubu, urging him to facilitate Kanu’s release as a demonstration of his commitment to justice and democracy.
“Let this moment mark a turning point in safeguarding the rights, dignity, and future of the Igbo people,” he stated.
