Ijaw Youth Council Calls For Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu Release

Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has called for the unconditional release of Radio Biafra director, Nnamdi Kanu, who was picked up by the DSS, and has since been in detention, saying that they were only exercising their rights and as such, the arrest was unwarranted.

The body’s president, Comrade Udengs Eradiri, in a chat with newsmen in Yenagoa, stressed that the issues he raised were fundamental to the existence of the country as the Ijaws were also pondering what Nnamdi and his colleagues had enunciated.
Eradiri also called on the Federal Government to have an economic plan as an alternative for the people of the Niger Delta region being raided for oil bunkering and illegal refining activities in the creeks.
The head of the organisation housing all Ijaw youths in the oil-rich region, maintained that that people must also be involved in the management of their resources, stressing that when they are denied access to their God-given endowments, it could give rise to another form of militancy in the region
