EU responds to agitation for Biafra, detention of Kanu; sends message to Nigeria

The European Union has responded to the issue of the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafra agitators saying it is monitoring his trial.

This was contained in a letter signed by Federica Mogherini who is the vice president of the European Commission to Members of the European Parliament who were signatories to a letter to him sent in December 2016 accusing Nigeria of human rights abuse.
Julie Ward who is a member of the EU has been supporter and advocate of Biafra and has spoken strongly against the detention of Kanu
In his response dated February 13, Mogherini said since the beginning of Kanu's trial, the EU has been monitoring it and said Biafra agitators should be allowed to protest and express themselves as long as it is within the scope of the constitution.
