Netanyahu has called for the immediate
release of Pro Biafran Independence
leader Nnamdi Kanu. The Prime
Minister made the call as a Pro Biafra
Independence group visited his office.
Nnamdi Kanu was arrested by the
Nigeria’s secret Service DSS, upon his
arrival at Lagos International Airport.
Kanu is the Director of Radio Biafra , the
voice of the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) movement.
Also a British MP RT. Hon. Harriet
Harman MP wrote a letter to Phillip
Hammond, Secretary of the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office asking for
intervention on Kanu’s case. She asked
a question of what Nnamdi Kanu is
being held for and what he is being
charged for. Harriet asked for the
immediately release of Mr. Nnamdi
Kanu who she said is a British citizen
and a member of her constituency in
London.
News Reports from Nigeria earlier said
Mr. Kanu has been granted bail, but his
whereabouts is unknown at the
moment. His arrest has elicited peaceful
rallies in some Nigerian cities, and
condemnation letters from Igbo
organizations in the Diaspora. Reactions
from inside and outside Nigeria have
been swift over the detention and
violation of Nnamdi Kanu’s freedom of
speech guaranteed not only by the
Nigerian Constitution but also by the
United Nations Charter on individual
freedom of expression.
