Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Apex Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has welcomed the decision of the United Nations, in which it asked the Federal Government of Nigeria to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the United Nations, UN Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, indicted both the Nigerian and the Kenyan governments for the arrest and extraordinary rendition, torture and continued detention of Kanu without due process<\/p>\n

The UN demanded that the Nigerian Government should immediately release the secessionist unconditionally and pay him adequate compensations for violating his human rights.<\/p>\n

Prior to the UN decision, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had said there was no justification to the continuous detention of Kanu whereas bandits were being celebrated.<\/p>\n

In a statement made available to DAILY POST by the National President of OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, he said the UN decision had vindicated its earlier stand on the incarceration of the IPOB leader.<\/p>\n

He said it was an indisputable fact that Nnamdi Kanu was the least of the headaches facing Nigeria, stressing that, \u201cterrorists have taken over the country, including the once most secured Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut security agencies, who apparently are compromised by the authorities in power, are only showing their muscles in the South-East.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot long ago, we made a fresh demand for Kanu\u2019s release and this was predicated upon the manner the government was pampering pandits, yet holding Kanu, who is a prisoner of conscience.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that the highest world organization, the UN, has taken a stand on this, it is incumbent on President Muhammadu Buhari to toe the path of honour and order Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe international community is watching as this would further demonstrate whether this government has regard for international obligations,\u201d the Ohanaeze youth President further stated.<\/p>\n
