Women Across Three Biafran States Stormed The Streets, Demands The Unconditional Release Of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Calls For A Referendum Date

  Women Across Three Biafran States Stormed The Streets, Demands The Unconditional Release Of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Calls For A Referendum Date


The Biafran Women in Anambra, Abia and Enugu States flooded the streets of the South-East States on 16th December, 2022 in peaceful protests; asking Buhari(Nigerian President), Malami(Nigerian Attorney-General), and all those that are responsible for the lawless Piloting of the affairs of Nigeria, to free the Kidnapped and illegally detained leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.  The Biafran women stated that Kanu has been discharged and acquitted by a Federal Appellate Court of competent jurisdiction on 13th October, 2022. The women also called on Nigeria government and the United Nations(UN) to fix a referendum date for Biafrans to decide their fate.


We all can also recall that other Nigerian courts of competent jurisdiction in both Abuja and Umuahia, quashed all the count charges against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, affirmed and ordered for his immediate release. But, Nigeria government have not complied to the instructions since over 2-month after the verdicts. This blatant act of disregard to court orders have been locally and internationally described as total dishonest and impunity of the executive to the judiciary and conscience of humanity. 


According one of the protesters who granted interview to Family Writers Press International(FWPI), “these barbaric tactics and uncivilized attitudes of Nigeria government and its security agencies have gradually grown very unbearable, especially as it concerns the illegal detention of the IPOB Leader". "This is why the Biafran women across these Biafra land decided to march out in protest", She said. 


Continuing, she narrated how the women had long kept silent, expecting that the Nigeria state would obey court orders. But in view of how Lawless Nigeria have become in repeatedly ignoring the order of courts and United Nations working group, these women determined to storm the street in demand for the freedom of the IPOB Leader. 


The incident unanimously took place within the same day, and around the same hours of the day. The women demonstrated with placards and showed how unsatisfied they are with the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafran activists, despite the orders from different courts of competent jurisdictions.


Some of the banners and placards read, "The journey of nine (9) months is painful, we cannot keep calm to watch our son die for a crime he never committed! #RELEASE NNAMDI KANU NOW" while some others read, "Our demand is simple: #FREE NNAMDI KANU", "No going back on the Appeal Court's Judgement: Nnamdi Kanu is Discharged and Acquitted" etcetera.


Biafrans have wondered why the international community is yet to do anything concerning this uncultured act from Nigeria, even when the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention have lent their voice in also asking Nigeria to free Kanu unconditionally. But, one thing is certain: justice must prevail one day. 


FWPI have also gathered that all who involved in the protests from the three states have returned peacefully too, to their various locations.
