• FG Revokes Nnamdi Kanu Bail, Kanu Threatens Destabilization

The Federal Government through Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja has revoked Nnamdi Kanu’s bail following the failure of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to appear in court after his bail was granted in April 2017.

According to Justice Nyako, the trial must continue even in the absence of Nnamdi Kanu, who is presently outside the country.

Justice Nyako adjourned the case to June 18.

Nnamdi Kanu Threatens Destabilization

Nnamdi Kanu on Sunday threatened the Federal Government of Nigeria, saying he has the capacity to render the country ungovernable.

He described government plan to re-arrest him with International Police as an effort in futility.

The IPOB leader said as a British citizen he can not be subjected to any Nigerian law.

According to a statement obtained by punchng, Kanu said: “I am not a Nigerian citizen; therefore, your bail revocation is completely meaningless to me. My devotion to the absolute and puritanical pursuit of the total restoration of the sovereignty of the Republic of Biafra is unwavering.

“My lawyers are waiting for an Interpol red notice against my name and all hell will break loose. If the intention of Binta Nyako is to curtail my travels, thereby limiting IPOB diplomatic offensive, then let me assure Biafrans that our enemies have failed.

“Should they request Interpol intervention in this matter, I will give my lawyers here in the UK the instructions we need to launch a no-holds-barred legal assault against Nigeria.

“So, I am waiting for them. Europe and Interpol are not a bunch of wild beasts like Nigerian law courts and her security services. In Europe there is rule of law which is also binding on Interpol.

“The treasonable felony charge they levelled against me is not a crime that could be committed by merely carrying Biafran flag about and preaching secession, but one that could only be committed using guns, bombs and other weapons, which my group has never been associated with.

“I warn the Federal Government not to dare me because I’m capable of causing trouble for Nigeria.”
