Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Aba, the Abia State capital, yesterday, to demand the release of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who operated a radio station calling for a separate state of Biafra.
In Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State, some 2,000 people carried placards with slogans such as “Biafra or death” and waved the Biafran flag — a golden rising sun on red, black and green.
Others wore T-shirts and caps with the image of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, pressure group. Some sang freedom songs and carried the outlawed Biafran pound currency. A protester reportedly tore a Nigerian flag.
“Getting our leader out of detention is our immediate concern, but ultimately we want to be free from Nigeria,” IPOB’s Abia coordinator, Ikechukwu Ugwuoha, told the crowds.

But I see no point in detaining Nnamdi kanu, what is his offence? They should go and try him in court if he committed offence, this detention doesn't make sense

That is naija for you they deprive d masses from their rights by seizing funds meant for you and I then when dey want power they give u some of dat money to go kill urself to get what they want and after that they put u back in poverty to use tomorrow again but d most funniest people between the leaders and d masses are d masses dey take u through one issue all d time but still u find it amusing, somebody is in d united state chilling with his family, gives directives from over there with cash for u to share among urself failing to realize it's ur own rightful cash, then because of that little cash u end up destroying urself some even die at d process and they keep deceiving u that it is ur right to it when u know fully well he or any members of his family are not involved in all dis, if we d masses have dis strength to fight for some persons for their selfish interest y not combine our strength and fight these corrupt leader and let a person from our own generation pilot d affairs of dis country ب الله !!!
