Former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi , has once again raised alarm over the growing insecurity and loss of lives across Nigeria. His comments come shortly after the United States government placed Nigeria on its list of Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) —a designation reserved for nations where severe violations of human rights and religious freedom occur. In a strongly worded statement reported by Sahara Reporters on Monday, November 3, 2025 , Obi said Nigeria is currently facing one of the most troubling periods in its history, with “an unprecedented level of insecurity, shocking loss of lives, and destruction of property.” According to him, the crisis has worsened since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office in May 2023 . A Bleak Picture of Insecurity Peter Obi pointed to data reportedly compiled by Amnesty International and other independent watchdogs, which estimate that over 10,000 Nigerians have been killed in vio...

BREAKING: Supreme Court Adjourns IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s Appeal Hearing To May

-


The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing on the appeal of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to May 11, 2023.

One of Kanu’s lawyers, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, on Thursday morning in a short statement said the Supreme Court would today (Thursday) hear Kanu’s appeal over “the continued illegal detention of our indefatigable Client, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“We are very firm in our belief that the Almighty ChukwuOkike Abiama (God) will take absolute control of today’s proceedings. His Grace will prevail in judgment over today's outing at the Supreme Court.” 

Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, counsel for Kanu, had asked the Supreme Court to be guided by equity, justice and good conscience while ruling on Kanu’s appeal on his continued detention by the Nigerian Government today (Thursday).

However, the court has adjourned the hearing of the appeal to May.

The appeal followed the Court of Appeal ruling and order for his unconditional release.

Ejimakor said that Nigeria's apex court should undo the grave injustice that was done to Kanu almost two years ago, saying that injustice has an expiry date and today (Thursday) should be the expiry date.

“As the Supreme Court convenes to hear Onyendu #MNK’s appeal today, let equity, justice & good conscience guide the hand of the Court to undo the grave injustice that was done to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu almost two years ago. Injustice has an expiry date. Let today be that expiry date,” he said.

The Appeal Court in October 2022 discharged and acquitted Kanu of all treasonable felony and terrorism charges levelled against him by the Nigerian government.

The Appeal Court also ordered his immediate and unconditional release from detention where he had been incarcerated since June 2021 when he was re-arrested in Kenya and renditioned to Nigeria, but the Nigerian government has continued to detain the IPOB leader in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
