The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) on Wednesday condemned the continued detention of the leader of the proscribed secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, by President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
At a press conference in Imo State, spokesman for the coalition, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere says Kanu’s unlawful detention might portend grace consequences for the country.
Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had demanded the release of his client, adding that Kanu needed medical attention.
Speaking on Wednesday, Ugochinyere urged Buhari to release the IPOB leader to prevent him from dying out of deteriorating health.
He charged the President to obey the court which had discharged him off terrorism charges.
