Five Certitudes From Nnamdi Kanu Vulcanic Statement In Court
Dez Mayorz Report.
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra has set the whole social media space bubbling with the volcanic echo of his voice in a video of a press he granted newsmen from Abuja Federal High Court. Five certitudes from his statement include:
1. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is still Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is authoritative and determined in his Biafra freedom pursuit.
2. Nnamdi Kanu has some medical issues that need urgent attention. The IPOB leader said that the Nigerian Government intends to release him at the point of death. Accused the Nigerian government of deliberately refusing to allow him to attain proper medical treatment because they wanted to release him at a fatal stage.
3. The Nigerian government is confused and seems not to have any case against Nnamdi Kanu.
They have continuously lost the case in the Nigerian court. The treason charges are no more, leaving only the terrorism charge against a freedom fighter.
4. Nnamdi Kanu believes that he can end all the criminalities in the East within two minutes of his release.
The IPOB leader is enraged by his continual illegal detention, and how the state has used the medium to sponsor high levels of criminality in the East.
5. That Some Person In Government Are Complicit In Criminality In Biafraland.
Although some people are trying to put it on Simon Ekpa, but Mazi Nnamdi Kanu categorically and strongly asserts that the criminality in the whole of Old Eastern Nigeria is State-sponsored, and claims that some politicians are making money from the criminality.
In October 2022, the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja upheld the appeal of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The court also discharged and acquitted the embattled leader.
Kanu is being prosecuted by the Federal Government at the Federal High Court in Abuja for 15 count charges bordering, including treasonable felony and terrorism, which the federal government has now confusingly brought down to terrorism charges.
A three-man panel of the Court of Appeal said the Federal High Court lacks the jurisdiction to try him given his abduction and extraordinary rendition to Nigeria in flagrant violation of the OAU convention and protocol on extradition.
The court held that the 15-count charge preferred against Kanu did not disclose the place, date, time, and nature of the alleged offenses before being unlawfully extradited to Nigeria in clear violation of international treaties.
The court further held that the Federal Government failed to disclose where Nnamdi Kanu was arrested despite the grave allegations against him
In October 2015, he was arrested by Nigerian authorities on an 11-count charge bordering on “terrorism, treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society, publication of defamatory matter, illegal possession of firearms and improper importation of goods, among others.”
He was granted bail in April 2017 for medical reasons.
However, Mr Kanu fled the country in September 2017 after an unlawful and evil invasion of his home by the Nigerian military in Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia State.
He has been accused of engaging in subversive activities that include inciting violence through television, radio, and online broadcasts against Nigeria and Nigerian State and institutions,” The Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami said after Kanu was rearrested and brought back to Nigeria in June 2021.
Kanu has denied any wrongdoing.
