Ohanaeze Youth Council endorses October 20 protest for Nnamdi Kanu’s release

Published

on

The Ohanaeze Youth council, OYC, has endorsed the October 20th nationwide protest for the release of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The protest is being organized by the 2023 presidential candidate of African Action Congress, AAC, activist, Omoyele Sowore.

In a statement issued on Monday by the National President, Comrade Igboayaka .O Igboayaka, the Ohanaeze Youth Council faulted the prolonged prosecution and incarceration of the IPOB leader.

Parts of the statement read, “The recent urgent and persuasive call to release Nnamdi Kanu by concerned Nigerians became evidently clear when the Boko Haram and bandits were pampered, granted amnesty and reintegrated into the Nigerian Army. This has sparked nationwide interest and global questions why the Federal Government still incarcerating Nnamdi Kanu.

“The essence of the 20th October Pan-Nigeria protest is that all Nigerians, irrespective of their tribe, zone or religion, are equal and deserve the same treatment or justice system, whether from the North or South-East.

“The Pan-Nigeria protest regarding the release of Nnamdi Kanu serves as a direct warning to the Federal Government that if they consider Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist, he should receive a pardon and be released similar to other Boko Haram and bandits in northern Nigeria.

“Nnamdi Kanu can’t be judged with a different law, detained, incarcerated and prosecuted while Boko Haram and bandits are forgiven and reintegrated into the Nigeria Army and the Society.

“The October 20th PAN-Nigeria protest over the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is fostering national awareness about the injustice meted out to Nnamdi Kanu due to his tribal identity, rather than any crime committed.

“The Pan-Nigeria Protest embodies a poignant inquiry by discerning Nigerians, challenging the Federal Government of Nigeria’s justification for engaging in talks with Boko Haram and bandits, yet declining to engage in a dialogue with the Indigenous People of Biafra and their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“To individuals wondering about the benefits or outcomes of the protest, or whether President Bola Tinubu will release Nnamdi Kanu due to the protest, it is vital to understand that since Comrade Omoyele Sowore initiated the protest, a significant number of Nigerians across different geopolitical zones have been contributing their voices, uniting, seeking a unified solution and political answer to Nnamdi Kanu’s case.”

The Ohanaeze Youth Council leader urged all Igbos to support the protest.

“I hereby call upon Igbo political leaders at all levels, both past and present, governors, senators, House of Representatives members, religious leaders, Catholic bishops, Anglican bishops, Methodist bishops, Seventh Day Adventists and traditional leaders to raise their banner of protest for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.

“I advise President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to avert Nigeria’s slide into chaos, turmoil and in the interest of national integration, political stability, and ethnic cohesiveness, to respond to the voice of Nigerians by directing the Attorney of the Federation to withdraw all cases against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and grant him unconditional release.”

A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.

According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.

She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.

With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.

The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.

She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.

“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps

A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.

The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.

Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.

Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.

In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).

 

The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.

One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”

Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
