Activist Lawyer Deji Adeyanju Criticizes President Tinubu for Not Releasing Nnamdi Kanu
Deji Adeyanju, a prominent activist lawyer, has expressed disappointment over President Bola Tinubu’s decision not to release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Adeyanju stated that Tinubu’s continued adherence to the approach of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, was disheartening.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Adeyanju wrote: “Tinubu should have released Nnamdi Kanu since. It is easier to criticize than to govern. This is why critics are usually bad leaders, and examples abound all over the world and Africa. If in doubt, look at APC.”
Kanu has been detained since June 2021 when Nigerian security operatives apprehended him in Kenya and subsequently extradited him to Nigeria. His continued incarceration has sparked significant controversy and calls for his release from various quarters.
