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.
To ensure smooth coordination, NANS said students from all regions will assemble in their respective zonal centres before moving to Abuja.
