The Edo State Civil Society Coalition for Human Rights has declared its full support for the planned October 20 protest at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, organized by activist Omoyele Sowore and other pro-democracy campaigners.
The coalition demands the immediate and unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who remains in detention despite several court rulings ordering his release.
The group described Kanu’s continued detention as “an aberration of governance and a desecration of democracy,” violating Section 35 and Section 287(3) of the 1999 Constitution, which guarantee personal liberty and compel obedience to court judgments.
