FIVE YEARS IN DSS DETENTION WON’T KILL ME – NNAMDI KANU
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, stated that he will not die if he is detained by the Nigerian government for an extra year.
This was revealed by the pro-Biafra activist on Tuesday during a press conference following the start of his trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
He conveyed his shock that the Supreme Court’s ruling on his bail request was not followed by the Court.
He said that the Supreme Court Judgement’s contents had been selectively chosen by the court.
The leader of IPOB said that unless the Court addresses alleged violations of important portions of the Nigerian Constitution, no trial could take place.
“I am surprised that a high court refused to abide by the determination of the Supreme judgment. The cherrying picking of what was contained in the judgment is what I am against. It should be implemented holistically. I am not against any trial after all I am innocent. They have nothing against me, but there can not be any trial when the key section of the Constitution and a key section of the Supreme Court judgment have been violated by a court of law.
“This is my Fourth year in solemn confinement in detention. The fifth year won’t kill me” he said.
Remember that despite several appeals for his release, Kanu has been detained by the Nigerian government since June 2021 and is being held by the Department of State Security Service.
