A group, the American Veterans of Igbo Descent, has warned against the continuous incarceration of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, describing it as part of a broader plan to silence resistance against armed Fulani expansionism and to enable the violent subjugation of indigenous communities to the Fulanis.
The group expressed concern that despite multiple court orders for Nnamdi Kanu’s release, the IPOB leader is still being held in detention.

“These massacres are part of a sustained ethnic cleansing campaign that has accelerated since the illegal abduction and detention of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Mazi Kanu, a British citizen and prominent voice for indigenous self-determination, was extra-ordinary rendition from Kenya in 2021 in clear violation of international law”, the statement reads in part
The latest mass killings in Benue State, as reported in national newspapers, the group said, “have exposed the cost of silencing the voices of truth.
‘’Mazi Kanu consistently warned of this impending horror, the planned domination of indigenous lands through state-sponsored terror disguised as herdsmen attacks”, pointing out that Kanu’s prophetic warnings were ignored. Instead, he was labeled as a terrorist, while the actual perpetrators of terror are emboldened by the Nigerian State.
It added, “The world must now ask: Why is a peaceful advocate of self-determination in prison while Fulani militants roam free? Why is the Nigerian government more focused on crushing dissenting voices than protecting lives? What role has the silence of international actors played in enabling this genocide-by-default?”
The group called on the United Nations, African Union, and ECOWAS to urgently demand Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s immediate and unconditional release.
“The UK Government must act decisively in defence of its citizens, whose fundamental rights have been flagrantly violated. The international media should hold the Nigerian government accountable for enabling ethnic cleansing while suppressing dissenting voices. Nnamdi Kanu’s continued detention is the green light for more massacres. The world must not stay silent”, the statement further stated
