A lone protester, who simply identified himself as Uchenna, took to the streets of Enugu on Thursday to draw attention to the plight of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
With a determined look on his face, Uchenna held a placard with a bold inscription, “UN End Judicial Terrorism Now!” as he marched through the bustling streets of the city.
The protester, who seemed undeterred by the rain, expressed his concerns about Kanu’s prolonged detention and called on the United Nations and all relevant agencies to intervene in the matter.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been detained for far too long, and it’s time for the international community to take notice and act,” Uchenna said, his voice filled with conviction.
As he walked, Uchenna detailed Kanu’s case and the circumstances surrounding his detention. He also engaged with onlookers, sharing his perspective on the matter and garnering support for Kanu’s release.
Despite being a lone protester, Uchenna’s determination and passion were palpable, and his message resonated with many who stopped to listen.
Uchenna’s protest highlights the ongoing concerns about Kanu’s detention and the impact it has on his supporters. Kanu has been in detention since 2021, and his case has sparked widespread debate and controversy.
As the protester continued his march, he reiterated his call for the international community to take action and facilitate Kanu’s release.
“I need the world to know about Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s situation and to put pressure on the authorities to release him,” Uchenna said, his voice growing louder as he walked. The protest may be small, but it serves as a reminder of the ongoing concerns and passions surrounding Kanu’s case.
