Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has expressed frustration and anger after his court appearance in Abuja today, Monday.
Kanu criticized Nigeria’s prosecutors and courts for their alleged lack of understanding and proper application of the country’s laws.
Questioning the jurisdiction of the terrorism charges leveled against him, Kanu argued that such poor knowledge of the law is detrimental to the nation as a whole.
In a video recorded by Channels Television and sighted by WorshipMedia, Kanu said, “The prosecution and this court don’t know the law, that is the fact.
“Poor knowledge of the law is killing Nigeria. They don’t know the law.
“A federal gazetted law of Nigeria says that the chief judge of Nigeria cannot tell Binta Nyako what to do. It is here; it is your law. Just obey it.
“That is why I do what I do. I agitate for Biafra. It is my right to agitate. They turned it from treasonable felony now to terrorism.”
Also, Kanu’s lead counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, said that Kanu’s case has been concluded as the IPOB leader’s legal team insisted that Justice Binta Nyako no longer possesses jurisdiction over Kanu’s case.
Ejimakor said, “Today’s “hearing” of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case is concluded.
“We stood our ground & told the Judge that she no longer possesses jurisdiction over Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and that we appeared “under protest”.
“Onyendu took the center stage and spoke eloquently. Case adjourned sine die (indefinitely).”
