A Nigerian Lawyer, Barrister Kenneth Okonkwo has alleged that the proscribed IPOB group leader, Nnamdi Kanu's actions are not unique compared to those of other regional agitators.
He mentioned Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba Nation Agitator, who is now free despite his unlawful seccessionist activities. He also referenced Boko Haram members who sought to create a separate state with strict anti-western education policies. He highlighted that Boko Haram members have been released, rehabilitated, and reintegrated into society.
He said in an interview with Arise TV, "Nnamdi Kanu has not done anything that others from different regions haven't done. We know about Sunday Igboho, who was a Yoruba agitator but he's free today. We know of the Boko Haram members who wanted a separate country where western education is forbidden.
These people have been released. In the case of Boko Haram, they have been rehabilitated and reintegrated into society. They have even been given good jobs, including in our military. Why is Nnamdi Kanu's case different?"
