Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, denounces killings in the South-East and calls for an out-of-court settlement in his ongoing trial. Kanu stresses IPOB’s non-violent principles in a bid to end violence. The court proceedings reveal challenges faced by Kanu’s legal team, including lack of access and surveillance by the DSS. Despite Kanu’s plea for an out-of-court settlement, the Federal Government declines, shifting the decision to the Attorney General of the Federation.
However, Justice Nyako orders the DSS to provide an unbugged space for Kanu to meet with his lawyers and addresses issues surrounding Kanu’s fresh application. Ohanaeze Ndigbo supports Kanu’s proposal for negotiation, emphasizing the need to end violence in the South-East region. The group hopes for Kanu’s release and calls for dialogue with the FG to address the longstanding issue.
