The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to gain maximum acceptance in the Southeastern region.
This call is coming just days to the Supreme Court’s ruling on Kanu’s case which has been scheduled for Friday, December 15.
COSEYL, in a statement issued on Saturday ,9th December by its President General, Goodluck Ibem said the President would be held in high esteem if Kanu, who is currently in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS is released.
Ibem expressed confidence that if the IPOB leader regains freedom, the security crisis rocking the region would subside.
The group claimed that Tinubu had “before now been an advocate of the rule of law and respect for court orders which informed his decision to be part of NADECO and the fight against military junta and dictatorship.
“The unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu will prove that President Tinubu says and stands by what he professes and fought for in the past during the military era.
“We will celebrate President Tinubu for upholding the rule of law and respecting the Court judgement releasing Nnamdi Kanu from DSS custody”.
