The United Igbo Elders Council (UNIEC), has called on the Federal Government to unconditionally release the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and all political prisoners who are being detained in different parts of the country.
The group which made the demand in a statement through its Director of Media and Publicity, Prof Obasi Igwe, and Coordinator-General, Alpha Justice, on Saturday, also called on the government to put an end to “all unlawful, hooded, night and secret arrests, detentions, and extrajudicial killings in the country, as well as an end to ports and economic blockades against Eastern Nigeria.’
In the statement titled, “New Governance Model for Nigeria”, the group also set a five-point agenda for meaningful peace and development in the country, emphasizing that it arrived at the decisions after a series of consultations and detailed analysis of diverse proposals over the dire situation in today’s Nigeria.
