 TYRANNY: Nigeria Keeps Persecuting Kanu In A Bid To Silence Truth

In today’s Nigeria, speaking the truth has become a crime. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), stands as a stark symbol of this grim reality. He is targeted, vilified, and imprisoned simply for exposing the deep rot(truth) within the Nigerian state.

Daring men are not born; they are forged when ordinary men are beaten for too long. When truth becomes costly, rebels become prophets. And Mazi Kanu’s voice has been precisely that prophetic, fearless, and unflinching.

Nigeria’s atrocities against its own citizens are no longer hidden. From mass killings in the East to systematic marginalization and the silencing of dissent, repression has become routine. Yet, when a man like Kanu speaks against these injustices, he is branded a terrorist and treated as an enemy of the state. This is not justice, it is a calculated effort to bury uncomfortable truths.

The judiciary, once the last hope of the common man, has become a theatre of compromise. Judges allegedly take phone calls from governors before delivering rulings. Lawyers demand millions to bribe registrars. Police officers alter case files overnight. In such an environment, truth itself becomes a dangerous weapon. And anyone who wields it faces the full weight of the corrupted system.

Mazi Kanu’s true “crime” is simple: he held up a mirror to Nigerians. He exposed the selective enforcement of law, the impunity of the powerful, and the suffocation of freedom. In a nation where looters roam free while protesters are gunned down, speaking truth has become the gravest of offenses.

Branding him a terrorist cannot erase the facts. The real threat to Nigeria is not Kanu’s words, but the decades of injustice he revealed. Every attempt to silence him only testifies to the state’s fear; fear of accountability, fear of truth, and fear of a people awakening to their oppression.

By imprisoning Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the government seeks to crush a man. But history shows that silencing the voice of truth only amplifies it. His imprisonment is not the end of his message. It is the beginning of a louder, inescapable echo.

Law dies when truth is afraid. But truth itself cannot be imprisoned. And in Nigeria today, from prison, that truth speaks louder than ever!
