ADC Defends Protesters' Rights Amid Nnamdi Kanu Detention Crackdown

The African Democrat Congress (ADC) has chosen to defend citizens' rights to peaceful assembly while avoiding direct comments on the detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The party's spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, criticized the government's handling of protests demanding Kanu's release.

Security forces used tear gas to disperse protesters in Abuja, including activist Omoyele Sowore. The ADC emphasized the importance of upholding fundamental rights amid growing tensions.
