Why they don’t want Nnamdi Kanu out alive – Sowore

Former presidential candidate and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has alleged that the Nigerian government does not want Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB out alive.

Kanu has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS since 2021 when he was rearrested over alleged terrorism and treason following his involvement in separatist movement.

On Monday, Sowore led a major protest in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, demanding Kanu’s release.

Several protesters including Kanu’s lawyer and brother were arrested and remanded in the Kuje prison.

In a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, Sowore alleged that Kanu is continuously being incarcerated because “they know the lies sustaining their power will collapse once Mazi Nnamdi Kanu walks out as a free man”.

According to Sowore, authorities do not “want Mazi Nnamdi Kanu freed alive, and they are united in that mission.

“Ever since they realized that their web of deceit was beginning to unravel, they have gone into overdrive”.

The activist further declared that the authorities “know that the people’s eyes have opened, and the fake political careers built on deceit, destruction, and the decimation of the oppressed will not survive the truth.

“They fear his freedom because it will expose their fraud, greed, backstabbing, and betrayal of justice”.
