Nnamdi Kanu’s detention has done more damage to Nigerian government, brother says

Prince Emmanuel Kanu, brother of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, says his brother’s prolonged detention has harmed the Nigerian government more than Kanu himself. In a Facebook post, he pointed to damage to Nigeria’s international credibility, insecurity and economic losses in the South-East, and the emergence of more radical splinter groups. He also argued that Kanu’s imprisonment has increased his influence and public sympathy, while calling into question the government’s approach to the crisis.
