Nnamdi Kanu: American Congressman Seeks Release, Urges Due Process
Challenges Kanu’s conviction, calls for fresh trial
A United States Congressman, John James, has renewed calls for the release of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, urging the Nigerian government to either grant him a fresh trial in line with constitutional provisions and international human rights standards or release him unconditionally.
Speaking on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Michigan lawmaker said he had introduced a resolution before the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs advocating due process in Kanu’s case. He also expressed concerns over the treatment of Christians in Nigeria.
James maintained that adherence to constitutional principles and internationally accepted human rights standards should guide the handling of Kanu’s case.
Nnamdi Kanu is currently serving a life sentence following his conviction on terrorism charges by a Federal High Court in Abuja in November 2025.
He is being held at the Kuje Correctional Centre, while the Nigerian government has consistently maintained that his arrest, trial and conviction were conducted in accordance with the law and due legal process.
