Religious Leaders Seek Kanu’s Freedom, Call For Restructuring

A coalition of Igbo religious leaders has called for the unconditional release of the convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, following his conviction in 2025 on treason-related charges.

Kanu is serving a life sentence in Sokoto prison. He has appealed his conviction.

The coalition, while seeking the release of the UPON leader, called for the restructuring of Nigeria, saying the country’s current challenges are rooted in unresolved historical grievances and political injustice.

The group made the call in an opinion article titled “From Aburi to ESN: The Same Twisted Playbook and the Problem Within Igbo Ranks,” signed by Rev.

Tony Uzor Anthony on behalf of a coalition of bishops, pastors, priests and custodians of Igbo traditional spirituality across Alaigbo which was shared with THE WHISTLER on Wednesday.
