IN a dramatic turn of events, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe shut down the National Assembly today, insisting that legislative proceedings will not resume until Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOP), is released immediately.
The senator, who previously stood as a surety for Kanu’s bail, vowed that legislative proceedings would not continue until his demand was met.
Abaribe arrived at the National Assembly wielding a placard and blocking key access roads, declaring that “enough is enough.” He insisted that the prolonged detention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader was unjust and against the rule of law.
“As a surety, I have always stood with Nnamdi Kanu, and I will continue to do so until justice prevails,” Abaribe stated. “From this moment, nothing will function in Nigeria until Kanu is released, as required by law. The Igbo people are not fools — we have been patient long enough. If President Tinubu insists on lawlessness, then let it be total lawlessness.”
