Orlu Elders Council has endorsed the call for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
In solidarity with the human rights community, particularly the organizers of the protest initiated by Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist, the elders called upon all Nigerians who share the same concerns about Kanu’s detention, to join the protest and peacefully demand his release.
The group endorsed the protest and encouraged participants to maintain a peaceful and non-violent demeanor, consistent with the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
This approach, the Orlu Elders Council believed, would amplify their voices and underscore the legitimacy of their demands.
A statement issued on Thursday, signed by Professor F.C Duke, SAN, Chairman, Professor A.U. Awuzie, Vice Chairman, and Professor Protus Nathan Uzoma, Secretary, endorsed the protest.
“The Orlu Elders Council stands in solidarity with Ohanaeze Ndigbo and all individuals and groups peacefully advocating for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release, guided by the principle that an injury to one is an injury to all,” it stated.
