Human-rights advocate and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has alleged that the Nigerian government once planned to execute IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, but pressure from activists and global observers reportedly disrupted the plan. Sowore shared the claim during an interview on Arise News.
Kanu, who leads the Indigenous People of Biafra, is currently serving a life term at the Sokoto Maximum Correctional Centre. According to Sowore, timely protests in Abuja, combined with international scrutiny, played a crucial role in averting a death sentence.
“We narrowly prevented a death sentence for Nnamdi Kanu. That was what they were preparing for,” Sowore said. He added that he had received credible intelligence in advance and shared it on social media, prompting authorities’ displeasure as activists mobilized to intervene.
Sowore emphasized the importance of ongoing activism to safeguard fairness in politically sensitive cases. He urged civil rights groups, international organizations, and democratic institutions to remain vigilant, warning that human-rights abuses often thrive when society remains silent.
