SAN FRANCISCO, October 21, (THEWILL) – Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that he wouldn’t return to the federal high court in Abuja where he was standing trial before he left the country.
THEWILL recalls that the federal government had charged him with treason but Binta Nyako, a judge of the federal high court in Abuja, had granted him bail after 18 months in detention.
However Kanu flouted all the terms of the bail before the military invaded his Abia residence on September 14, 2017 and fled afterwards only to resurface in Jerusalem on Friday.
In a broadcast via Radio Biafra on Sunday, Kanu boasted that the Nigerian court lacks the capacity to try him saying the judge who has asked his sureties to produce him should have asked the army why they invaded his residence.
“Nigerian court is a Kangaroo court. I did not jump bail, I left because the court failed to protect me,” he said.
“I shall not be honouring the court. I cannot be tried by a court I do not recognise.”
He added that those who stayed true to the cause of Biafra during his absence will be rewarded with land announcing his return ‘with hell’.
