In a dramatic turn of events, a group of Jewish worshipers gathered in Afara-Ibeku, Abia State, calling for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The protest, which drew public attention, has sparked heated conversations across Nigeria’s political and religious spaces.
According to reports, the worshipers — dressed in their traditional religious garments and waving symbolic flags — stormed the streets in solidarity with Kanu. Their demand echoed ongoing calls from human rights groups and international bodies urging the Nigerian government to obey court rulings and free the IPOB leader.
Kanu has been in detention since his re-arrest in 2021, a move that has triggered nationwide debates on justice, human rights, and the future of the Biafran struggle. Supporters argue that his continued detention violates legal orders, while the government insists on prosecuting him over allegations tied to separatist activities.
The presence of Jewish worshipers adds a unique angle to the agitation. Their open call for Kanu’s release symbolizes the growing internationalization of the movement, amplifying pressure on Nigerian authorities to take action.
With protests intensifying and global eyes watching, the Nigerian government faces mounting pressure to resolve Kanu’s case. Analysts warn that failure to address the issue could further inflame tensions in the South-East.
