The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced a nationwide protest tagged “Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu” to demand the release of the detained IPOB leader.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced plans to embark on a nationwide protest to demand the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
According to the student body, the peaceful demonstration — tagged “Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu” — is scheduled for Monday, October 20, 2025, with students from all six geopolitical zones expected to converge on Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
In a statement signed by the NANS National President, Comrade Atiku Isah, and dated October 13, 2025, the association said the decision followed resolutions reached during its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
Following the resolution reached at the recent executive meeting of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), the leadership hereby calls on all Nigerian students to participate in the ‘Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’ nationwide protest,” the statement read.
The protest, NANS explained, is aimed at demanding justice, civil rights, and democratic accountability in Nigeria, particularly in light of multiple court rulings declaring Kanu’s continued detention unlawful.
The association added that ten buses have been provided per zone to transport participants to the capital, with logistics coordinated through Students’ Union Government (SUG) presidents across campuses nationwide.
"This mobilisation is part of our collective demand for justice and democratic accountability,” Comrade Isah stated. “Freedom is not given; it is earned through peaceful struggle. Nigerian students will always stand for what is right.”
The planned demonstration comes amid growing calls from human rights groups, civil society organisations, and Igbo socio-political leaders urging the Federal Government to comply with court rulings and release Kanu unconditionally.
