The South East Revival Group (SERG) has urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to immediately abide by the resolutions of the UN Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention regarding the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in order to prevent the opening of a new front in the country's ongoing civil war. This is especially important given the current level of insecurity in the majority of the nation.

The Nigerian and Kenyan governments were recently indicted by the UN for Kanu's extraordinary rendition, torture, and ongoing incarceration without due process.

As a result, the UN concurred and advised the Federal Government to free Kanu without conditions right away.

However, the SERG called on the government to be responsible and reasonable in managing the UN's proposals as part of the bitter pills Nigeria must chew to minimize armed conflict in the nation in a statement signed by its president and national coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu, over the weekend. the group urged the government to be responsible and reasonable in managing the UN's recommendations as one of the bitter pills Nigeria must eat to lessen violent conflict in the nation over the weekend.

The following is an excerpt from the statement: "For the United Nations to ask the Federal Government to pay adequate compensation for the arbitrary violation of Nnamdi Kanu's fundamental human rights, it then becomes clear that the global body has found grave infractions in the process of rendition and detention of the IPOB leader.

"In the interest of peace, security, and national unity, the President Muhammadu Buhari administration must be proactive enough to liberate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu right away and provide a channel for addressing the underlying causes of the recent resurgence of Biafran agitation in the South East.

"The Federal Government must draw lessons from the regrettable but preventable insurgency in the North East, which has intensified and expanded to other regions of the nation as a result of Mohammed Yusuf's senseless execution, the founder of Boko Haram.

"We, therefore, urge on President Muhammadu Buhari to promptly order Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's unconditional release and establish a channel for conversation with irate residents, not just in the South East but throughout the country, in order to find long-lasting peace in the nation.

This is necessary because opening preventable battle fronts in every region of Nigeria would be detrimental to national peace and development and would eventually lead to an overstretched security force.
