The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-East), Mrs. Chioma Wesley, has stated that President Bola Tinubu “will not make any pronouncement on the ongoing trial” of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Wesley made the comments to State House correspondents on Monday after she and three other regional aides briefed the President at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
She confirmed the President’s stance amid “renewed calls, especially from parts of the South-East, for Kanu’s release.”

Wesley explained that: “Nnamdi Kanu’s case is in court and the President cannot make any pronouncement on it.”
She stressed that President Tinubu “abides by the rule of law. So, for now, we wait for the court to make that decision.”
Kanu, the leader of the proscribed IPOB, was first arrested in 2015. After being granted bail in 2017, he left the country following a military operation in his hometown.
He was “rearrested and returned to Nigeria in June 2021,” and has remained in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since then.
The Federal High Court is scheduled to “deliver judgment in his terrorism case” on November 20, 2025, after Kanu “declined for the sixth time to open a defence.”
