Police authorities tightened security throughout Nigeria’s South-East on Wednesday ahead of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Nnamdi Kanu’s terrorism case. The judgment, scheduled for today, will decide whether the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra remains in custody or walks free. Officers increased patrols and set up more checkpoints to prevent any breakdown of law and order.
The Inspector-General of Police ordered the measures after warnings of possible unrest. Security forces also placed neighbouring states on alert. They urged residents to stay calm and go about their normal activities without fear.
Kanu has faced trial since 2021 on charges linked to broadcasting messages that authorities say threatened national security. Supporters insist he committed no crime and only spoke for his people. The outcome of the case could affect peace and stability in the region.
