The legal team representing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has condemned remarks made by a man identified as Chigozie Nnabugwu, who allegedly urged the Federal Government to kill the detained separatist leader, describing the statement as unlawful, reckless and a threat to life.
The demand followed comments made by Nnabugwu during an interview on a live broadcast on Monday, where he argued that normalcy would return to the South-East if Kanu was killed.
According to him, “If Nnamdi Kanu is dead today, if the Government of Nigeria will kill Nnamdi Kanu, trust me, normalcy will start coming, and that’s what every Igbo man prays for.”
He reportedly added that addressing the root causes of violence remained key to lasting stability in the South-East.
The comments, however, triggered widespread condemnation on social media, with many Nigerians rejecting the suggestion and insisting that Kanu’s fate should remain within the confines of the law.
