The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu, yesterday, said he would not be broken
by the last Friday Supreme Court verdict that he (Kanu) must face trial
on terrorism allegations against him by
the Federal Government.
Kanu spoke just as the militia arm of IPoB, the Eastern Security Network,
ESN, issued a warning to herdsmen, thugs and vigilante outfits operating in the
South-East as it marks its third anniversary.
The security outfit also warned the Anambra Vigilante Group,
AVG, to stop the alleged abduction of people in the state.
Kanu spoke about facing terrorism charges in a statement made available to newsmen in
Owerri, through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, after the visit to the
headquarters of the Depatment State Services, DSS, in Abuja, where Kanu was
detained for over two years.
The IPOB leader’s lawyer said he was sure that he would be
victorious in the legal battle.
However, reacting to the verdict of the Supreme Court by citing some of the
sections of the Nigeria constitution, he said:
“The eventual verdict of the Supreme Court was conveyed to Onyendu Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu, and he expressed reservations on the outcome.
“However, Onyendu elected to accept this outcome because of
the finality of the Supreme Court decisions, and not because they are
infallible.
“Nevertheless, in accepting this verdict, Onyendu
specifically requested that the following compelling questions be put out
publicly to the discerning members of the public, who are keenly following the
trajectory of this case: to wit:
“Did the decision of the Supreme Court, which substantially
sanctioned the Federal Government’s illegal
act of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s abduction and extraordinary rendition
to Nigeria, effectively repeal the following Nigerian laws, which were all
cited in our brief before the Supreme Court?
“Onyendu once again thanked Ezigbo UmuChineke for your prayers and love, even as he encouraged all to remain focused and keep their eyes on the ball.
“Onyendu enjoined his followers to continue to conduct
themselves peacefully as they have always done.”
