Nigeria: Nnamdi Kanu was right, says Dele Farotimi

Dele Farotimi, a political activist and human rights defender, has called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group who is currently in detention, emphasizing that his analysis regarding Nigeria was entirely correct.

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the activist criticized the Nigerian government for imprisoning the separatist leader while terrorists and murderers roam free across the country.

Farotimi, who noted that he has frequently had the opportunity to address separatist activists in Nigeria, stated “I am today convinced that Nnamdi Kanu was 110% correct in his assessment of the Nigerian state.

“He was correct, but today he sat in a cell somewhere, and numerous murderers are walking around free. That is vindication. The man is correct. Nigeria encourages madness.

“If it does not listen to rational voices, it becomes inevitable that more extreme voices will be spoken in the language that Nigeria understands.”
