It has become customary for the justification of the continued illegal detention of Nnamdi Kanu to make references to many killings in the South-East .Eternal rest to those killed in Igboland, and may the bereaved be consoled.

It is important to offer a peg for our discussion in a forum, as this, crowded with men of authority, lest they are perceived to be people with power, even if their own brand…
