Shehu Sani Says Keeping Nnamdi Kanu in Detention Without Trial Is Unfair
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has criticized the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and the indefinite postponement of his trial.
Sani described the situation as unfair, emphasizing that justice cannot be achieved through injustice.
Sharing his thoughts on X, he stated that holding someone in prolonged detention while delaying their case indefinitely is wrong. He acknowledged the concerns surrounding the case but insisted that avoiding the issue won’t solve it.
Drawing from his own experience, Sani recalled the pain and isolation of imprisonment, stressing that only those who have been in a cell truly understand what it feels like.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.

The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
