Abubakar has joined human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore in calling on the federal government to immediately release detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Atiku, in a post on his X handle yesterday, described Kanu’s continued detention as a “stain on Nigeria’s belief in the rule of law.”

He wrote, “The continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains an open sore on our nation’s conscience and a stain on our belief in the rule of law. Defying court orders that granted him bail is an abuse of power and an assault on justice.
