Nigerian Students Union NANS Begins Mass Mobilisation For October 20 #FreeNnamdiKanuNow Protest.
In an official statement signed by its National President, Comrade Atiku Isah, and dated October 13, 2025, the students body said the coordinated protest, themed “Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu”, would take place on Monday, October 20, 2025, with students from all geopolitical zones mobilising to Abuja.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has announced plans to embark on a nationwide protest demanding the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In an official statement signed by its National President, Comrade Atiku Isah, and dated October 13, 2025, the students body said the coordinated protest, themed “Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu”, would take place on Monday, October 20, 2025, with students from all geopolitical zones mobilising to Abuja.
According to the statement, the decision followed resolutions reached at the NANS executive meeting presided over by the president himself.
“Following the resolution reached at the recent executive meeting of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), the leadership of NANS hereby calls on all Nigerian students to participate in the ‘Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’ nationwide protest scheduled to hold on Monday, 20th October, 2025,” the statement read.
To ensure effective coordination and a united front, NANS explained that students from across the country would first assemble at designated convergence points within their respective geopolitical zones before proceeding en masse to Abuja for the nationwide demonstration. In the South West, students are expected to gather in Ekiti State, while those from the South East will converge in Enugu.
The South-South zone will meet in Edo State, just as students from the North East are to assemble in Bauchi State. Their counterparts from the North West will gather in Kano State, while those in the North Central zone will converge in Lokoja, Kogi State, before the collective movement to the Federal Capital Territory.
The association disclosed that ten buses have been allocated to each zone to facilitate transportation of protesters, adding that logistics and other arrangements would be handled through Students’ Union Government (SUG) Presidents in the respective states and campuses.
“This mobilisation is part of the collective demand for justice, civil rights, and democratic accountability,” Isah declared. “As students, we affirm that freedom is achieved through struggle, and we remain committed to peaceful advocacy for what is right.”
The planned demonstration marks a national alignment by NANS on a politically sensitive issue, as Nnamdi Kanu’s continued detention by the Nigerian government has remained a flashpoint of agitation, especially across the South East.
