The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has called on President Bola Tinubu to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from DSS custody.
The socio-political group said in a statement made available to the Nation by its president general, Goodluck Ibem, on Saturday, December 9, that it would celebrate President Tinubu if he upholds the rule of law by setting Nnamdi Kanu free from DSS custody.
The statement reads in part: “President Tinubu has before now been an advocate of the rule law and respect for court orders which informed his decision to be part of NADECO which fought against military junta and dictatorship.
“The unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu will prove that President Tinubu says and stands by what he professes and fought for in the past during the military era.
“The entire southeast geopolitical zone is waiting earnestly to receive their son Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the Supreme Court decides on his matter on 15 December 2023.
“We will celebrate President Tinubu for upholding the rule of law and respecting the Court judgment by releasing Nnamdi Kanu from DSS custody.”
The group said that the insecurity in the southeast would stop with the release of the IPOB leader.
