The Forum of Victims of Separatist Violence (FVSV) has called on the Federal Government to allow the judiciary to conclude Nnamdi Kanu’s trial without interference.
The Forum of Victims of Separatist Violence (FVSV) has urged the Federal Government to resist political pressure and allow the judiciary to complete the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
In a statement on Sunday signed by Chief Dr. Ernest Ezenwo, Chairman, and Mrs. Godiya Sunday, Secretary, the group expressed strong opposition to calls for Kanu’s release.
“We speak not from politics, but from sorrow. From the graves of our loved ones. From the burnt remains of our homes and businesses,” the statement read.
The forum accused Kanu of inspiring violence through hate-filled rhetoric that led to deaths and destruction across the Southeast.
“Releasing him under political pressure would not heal this nation; it would deepen the pain,” it added.
The FVSV urged President Bola Tinubu to uphold the rule of law and honour the sacrifices of victims and security personnel who died defending Nigeria’s unity.
