IPOB Accuses Justice Omotosho of Political Conviction of Nnamdi Kanu

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja of convicting and sentencing its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, without sufficient evidence. IPOB claims the verdict was politically motivated to serve the interests of the ruling Nigeria===All Progressives Congress (APC). The group described the judgment as a miscarriage of justice, alleging that Kanu's transfer to Sokoto would hinder his access to legal counsel and appeal resources. IPOB further linked the judge's actions to appeasing political actors within the APC and highlighted worsening insecurity across Nigeria, particularly in Yorubaland. The group challenged President Bola Tinubu to justify Kanu's continued detention, warning that his release is necessary for national peace and stability. IPOB stated that those advising the administration to continue Kanu's 'unlawful detention' are accelerating Nigeria's collapse.
