Nigeria TV Info — Major Roads in Abuja Blocked as Protesters Demand Nnamdi Kanu’s Release

Abuja, Nigeria — Major roads across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were blocked on Monday as protesters took to the streets demanding the immediate release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The protest, which began in the early hours of the morning, caused significant traffic gridlock in key areas of the city including the Central Business District, Berger Junction, and the Airport Road. Commuters and motorists were stranded for hours as demonstrators waved Biafran flags and chanted solidarity songs calling for Kanu’s freedom.

Security operatives, including police and soldiers, were swiftly deployed to several strategic points to control the crowd and prevent any outbreak of violence. Authorities have urged residents to remain calm and avoid protest zones as tension remains high.

Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021 on charges related to treasonable felony and the agitation for an independent Biafran state. His continued detention despite multiple court rulings granting him bail has fueled public outrage and renewed calls for his unconditional release.

As of press time, no major casualties have been reported, but security agencies continue to monitor the situation closely.
