The Ohanaeze Youth Council ,(OYC), has urged all Igbos doing business in different parts of the country to close their shops and companies on Monday, 20th October 2025, in solidarity with the peaceful protest march to Aso Rock for Nnamdi Kanu’s release.
The OYC said that the peaceful protest which will be led by human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, is to demand the immediate and unconditional release of Kanu.
A statement made available to Journalists yesterday by the OYC National President, Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, said the nationwide solidarity action is a moral and patriotic duty, and a peaceful declaration that the Igbo nation stands firmly with truth, justice, and the rule of law.
“We cannot continue business as usual while a son of Igboland remains unjustly detained against multiple subsisting court judgments ordering his release,” Igboayaka said. Igboayaka who alleged that bandits were granted amnesty in the North, expressed surprise that such was happening at the same time Nnamdi Kanu is still being held in detention.
According to him, the situation is ethnic injustice and political persecution against Ndigbo and other marginalized tribes.
