Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has called for calm and respect for judicial processes following the Federal High Court’s life sentence handed to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB. He warned that the south-east is facing a severe humanitarian and economic crisis, urging political leaders and residents to focus on protecting civilians and stabilizing the region.
Speaking on Monday, November 24, 2025, Kalu highlighted the devastating impact of ongoing separatist tensions, noting that more than 30,000 people have died and thousands of families remain displaced. He emphasized that media coverage often focuses on clashes between government forces and armed groups, while the human cost to ordinary residents is largely overlooked.
Kalu recounted the destruction of a rice business belonging to a friend of his late mother to illustrate the widespread economic ruin caused by insecurity. He stressed that businesses have collapsed, investors have pulled out, and many families are struggling to recover from repeated attacks and lockdowns.
On the issue of Kanu’s sentencing, the senator defended Justice James Omotosho, urging the public to respect the judiciary and refrain from personal attacks. “Nobody should question the decision of Justice Omotosho. If you are displeased, you go to the appellate court. It’s not to start insulting the man,” Kalu said, highlighting the constitutional right to challenge a ruling through legal channels.
He concluded by calling for unity and cooperation among all stakeholders to protect lives, restore economic activity, and prevent further bloodshed. According to Kalu, a collective, responsible approach is essential for achieving long-term peace and stability in the south-east.
