The leadership of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has called on President Bola Tinubu to forthwith release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group in a communique on Tuesday said the fair hearing of the separatist leader may no longer be guaranteed due to controversial and conflicting legal proceedings in different courts.

The communique was issued after its general meeting – presided over by the group’s deputy leader Oba Oladipo Olaitan – held at Isanya-Ogbo, the hometown of its leader, Ayo Adebanjo.

In the statement signed by both Olaitan and the National Publicity Secretary of the group Justice Faloye, Afenifere argued that Kanu should be released in the interest of justice and national reconciliation.

Describing Kanu as a political detainee, the group said there is no justification for his continued detention without trial.

“Afenifere notes that from all circumstances, particularly since his abduction in 2021 and repatriation to Nigeria and since then subjected to controversial and conflicting legal proceedings in different courts by which his fair trial may no longer be guaranteed in the opinion of reasonable of the public, it is clear that Nnamdi Kanu is undoubtedly a political detainee,” the communique reads.

“There is no justifiable reason to continue to keep him in detention without trial,” the communique added.

The association also appointed lawyer Dele Farotimi as the National Organising Secretary of Afenifere.

“The General Meeting considered and approved the appointment of Barrister Dele Farotimi as the National Organising Secretary of the Afenifere,” it stated.

Afenifere also reiterated the call for state police, saying the vast territory, population, and federation cannot be effectively and meaningfully secured with a single command of unitary police.

“Afenifere reiterates the position that Nigeria with its vast territory, population, and as a federation cannot be effectively and meaningfully secured with a single command unitary police structure and thus the need for the restructuring to ensure immediate constitutional institutionalization of state police.

“The steps will prevent a situation the Governor of Oyo State, even as the Chief Security Officer, had to helplessly and lamentably make an outcry on the infiltration of bandits into his state,” the communique further read.

Gbam!!...na so e suppose be......unity amongst brothers .....

One thing is certain.....Tinubu will release Nnamdi Kanu based on regional and political affiliation......

It was very much understandable why Buhari neglected the court orders and kanu's release ..

Not everyone employs fake bishops

This is fake news.

Obidients fashion of Afenifere, where you see Baba Ayo Adebanjo, Dele Farotimi etc, they are all Obidients.


No serious ethnic organizations including Afenifere will appoint uncultured Farotimi as an executive member.


In other words, their agenda will meet stiff resistance, in fact, the statement released by this Afenifere side will hunt Nnamdi Kanu more.


More watery beans to Ipob Lord.

Ayo adebanjo just fooling himself with small group of people parading themselves as afenifere leaders

Not until we start totaling upholding the rule of law and not sentiment, intimidation and interest, we have a long way to go as a country because it maybe your turn tomorrow but God will be with us.

Ever consistent Afenifere!

Tomorrow you claim Yoruba are courteous. Look at you here calling a fellow Yoruba man who is older than your father a fool. Continue.

Kanu, who was discharged by the Appeal Court, should simply be allowed to go back to his wife and children

[quote author=Everlastingson post=133917114][/quote]are you that illiterate like this?

They should go and release him awon werey

Bar1941:
Unna all dey craze

Afenifere is no more a Yoruba socio-cultural organization. Peteru Obifraud had infiltrated that useless association and it’s now a wing of a political party.

We saw how that old useless baba Adebanjo was campaigning for Peteru in the last election, and now they appointed his close ally Farotimi as secretary, even clamouring for the release of a terrorist Lamidi Cownu.

When last did you hear the voice of the Afenifere faction that ed the sitting president? I guess they are somewhere wondering what they have done...or what?
