Allegations of Unequal Justice
House of Representatives member, Obi Aguocha, has accused President Bola Tinubu of applying different standards of justice to the Igbo ethnic group.
Aguocha made this statement during an interview on Arise Television News, citing the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and the recent presidential pardon granted to others.
Tinubu granted clemency to 'drug lords, murderers', yet Nnamdi Kanu has endured dehumanization.
The lawmaker alleged that an Igbo man faces unique challenges in the administration of criminal justice in Nigeria, not experienced by other tribes.
Aguocha represents the Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency of Abia State.
