A growing debate has emerged over the detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), following comments drawing a controversial comparison with security decisions in Katsina State.
Critics argue that it is inconsistent to keep Kanu in custody while, in Katsina, the state government reportedly released 70 bandits in the name of a peace deal. Observers say the move highlights perceived contradictions in governance and the handling of justice and security matters across Nigeria.
Commentators on social media have questioned the principles of fairness and accountability, noting that if state authorities can negotiate and release armed criminals for political or peace considerations, similar logic could apply to individuals held in prolonged detention without clear legal closure.
The debate underscores broader issues surrounding rule of law, security policy, and political influence in Nigeria, and has reignited discussions on the balance between national security and human rights.
