NNAMDI Kanu, detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, wants the British Government ‎to intervene in his case by asking President Muhammadu Buhari to release him from prison. Kanu who is facing treason charge alongside ‎two other pro-Biafra agitators, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, petitioned the British government through Ifeanyi Ejiofor, his lawyer, asking for assistance.

Kanu, in a letter dated March 24 and addressed to the British High Commissioner in Abuja, described himself as a victim of travesty of justice and gross human rights violation. He accused the President Muhammadu Buhari administration ‎of violent abuse his fundamental human rights through his prolonged detention in prison custody.

Although he said he was ready to answer to the charge ‎against him, Kanu also expressed reservations that he would ever get a fair trial, saying he had so far been subjected to immense persecution. ‎‎

Besides, he said he is a British citizen and that he was wrongly arrested and put in detention.
