About 50 members of the House of Representatives spread across the six geo-political zones of the country under the aegis of the Concerned Federal Lawmakers for Peace and Security in the South-East, have appealed to President Bola Tinubu to invoke Section 174 of the Constitution of Nigeria, 1999 and Section 107 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, from the custody of the Department of State Services.
Others are Dominic Okafor , Etanabene Benedict , Abdulmaleek Danga , Shehu Dalhatu , Chinedu Martins , Matthew Nwogu , Peter Aniekwe , Koki Sagir and Amobi Oga among others. The letter read in part, “Your Excellency, we are concerned members of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with a strong belief and trust that the Renewed Hope agenda and the various positive reforms would be seen and felt by all.
“This, we believe, will also help dismantle the apparatus of violence and restiveness that has plagued the region, allowing for a focus on economic growth and development. This comes at a time when the nation-state is under enormous pressure, including but not limited to unemployment, insecurity, hunger, and poverty, thereby de-escalating tension from all sides.
The lawmakers further noted that “The primary responsibility of government is the protection of lives and property, stressing that “Facilitating the release of Nnamdi Kanu would demonstrate a commitment to upholding the principles of justice and fairness, which are the bedrock of our democracy.”
