SENATOR Femi Okunromu, a diehard Awoist says the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has not done anything wrong to deserve detention.
He said minorities all over the world have the right to ask for self-determation which the IPOB leader has rightly done and asked for. He questioned the rationale for keeping him in detention when Nigerian courts of competent jurisdiction have consistently granted him bail which was refused.
He asked, ''What is his offence in the first place? What did he do that is treasonable? He is agitating for a state of Biafra. And agitation for self determination is not a criminal offence. Minority people all over the world are agitating for self determination.''
He cited the Scottish people who recently conducted a referendum to secede from Britain insisting with all emphasis that to ask for self-determination does not amount to a criminal offence in any way.
He said, ''The Scottish people in the United Kingdom are agitating for self determination. So, he has not committed any criminal offence as to deserve being locked up. He is just being unjustly treated by the government. If the people of Biafra want a state of their own, it is their right to do so.
Continuing he said, '' If the Yoruba want Oodua Republic and they agitate for it, it is their right to do so. If the people in the South-South want self determination and they are fighting for it, it is their right to do so. It is a question of right of self determination.
If these people are not satisfied with the union, they have the right to go their different ways. Czechoslovakia did so., he added.
