Senator Shehu Sani (APC-Kaduna Central) has condemned the arrest and detention of women protesting the disappearance of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Kanu has not been seen in public since IPOB had a clash with soldiers of the Nigerian army in Abia, last year.
In a post on his Twitter page on Friday, Shehu Sani called for the protection of peaceful protesters.
He wrote: “All peaceful protesters must be protected and treated with dignity as citizens exercising their fundamental rights as guaranteed by the constitution of the country.
“When the constitution is religiously respected, the moral authority of a Government is reinforced.”
