What a humiliation and wickedness!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot accept that anymore. We can never allow our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to be tried secretly and we can never also allow him to be tried under Sharia law under any guise. Nigeria must follow International laws in handling our leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless the federal government releases him unconditionally before November 4, we shall sacrifice one week for him as a warning protest to convey to our oppressors that Nnamdi Kanu represents over 70 million Biafrans.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cHe is innocent of all the charges preferred against him. As long as he is in detention our individual businesses do not matter so much because he is suffering for us all and we can\u2019t abandon him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe seriously regret the inconveniences this may cause our people but it\u2019s a necessary sacrifice we need to make until we have our full independence.
