A recommendation seeking the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), encountered a setback in the Nigerian House of Representatives on Thursday.
The motion, which aimed to address the ongoing violence in the southeast, was sponsored by Eze Nwachukwu from Ebonyi, with Ginger Onwusibe proposing an amendment to it.
Onwusibe argued that the killings in the region were a direct consequence of Kanu’s prolonged detention. However, Abdullahi Halims, the deputy majority leader, opposed the motion, asserting that the issue was sub judice and should not be discussed in parliament.
Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker, expressed support for the amendment, emphasizing the need to find an amicable resolution to the situation. When put to a voice vote, the speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, could not determine the outcome and decided to suspend the amendment for further consultation.
Usman Kumo, the Chief Whip, agreed with Halims and cited the standing order that prohibits discussion on matters pending a judicial decision. Abbas ruled that a decision on the amendment would be made after due consultation and invited both minority and majority leaders to participate in the process.
