Biafra: Aka Ikenga excoriates Buhari over Nnamdi Kanu's detention
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” – Martin Luther King

Thirty-Two years ago, a young, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, in a military coup overthrew a legitimate Nigerian civilian government. He superimposed himself as Head of State on January 2, 1984. The Nigerian Constitution classifies as treason any act with “intention to remove, during his term of office, otherwise than by constitutional means the President as Head of State of the Federation and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.” Until date, Buhari has hardly faced any questions about his overthrow of a legitimate government.
