In a statement issued by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, members are urged to prepare for Kanu’s potential release on December 15. The group reiterates its stance on Kanu’s innocence and expects the Supreme Court to uphold justice by unconditionally releasing him.
Powerful emphasizes the legal expertise of the Supreme Court justices, urging them to emulate the courage displayed by the Appeal Court in resisting government intimidation.
