“Those That Kidnapped Nnamdi Kanu And Sent Him To Nigeria Are The Real Terrorist” – HURIWA

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has stated that the people who kidnapped Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya and transported him to Nigeria are the real terrorists, not the IPOB leader.

The human rights organization stated this while advocating for the IPOB leader’s unconditional release from DSS custody and a halt to his mistreatment.

In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA said, “We believe that those who should rather undergo prosecution as terrorists are those who abducted Nnamdi Kanu forcefully and subjected him to illegal rendition and rounds of torture before being flown into Nigeria.”

It argued that it was incorrect to label Nnamdi Kanu, who was taken to Nigeria against his will and in violation of international best practices and humanitarian law, as a terrorist.

The group said, “It is known that Nnamdi Kanu was forced to run for dear life after attempts were made to kill him whilst he was on bail from a Court of law.

“Those who use armed security forces to attack him in Umuahia leading to the slaughter of scores of members of the IPOB were instrumental to the decision of Nnamdi Kanu to run for dear life thereby staying away from those premeditated attackers sent to kill him.

“Those were actually the real terrorists who should be prosecuted for attempting to kill a man granted bail by a Competent court of law.

“This persecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is irregular and unconstitutional. He has not committed any offence known to law to be prosecuted for terrorism.

“We are asking President Muhammadu Buhari in the spirit of fairness and for the accelerated end to the social upheavals in the South East of Nigeria, to bring to an end the mistrial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a terrorist in a secret tribunal devoid of media coverage and transparency.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation for self-determination is backed up by article one of the international covenant on civil and political Rights which states that “All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right, they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural rights.”

“A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.”
