Kanu Protests Indefinite Adjournment, Vows Not to Be Silenced on Biafra

Nnamdi Kanu criticizes the indefinite adjournment of his case, insisting he will not be silenced on the Biafra movement despite legal setbacks.

In a widely circulated video, Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), voiced his frustration during a court address as he staunchly defended his right to advocate for Biafra.

Visibly angry, Kanu stressed that his advocacy for Biafra is not a criminal act, asserting it as his right to call for self-determination for the Igbo people.

He emphasized that his actions are a responsibility to clear up misunderstandings and communicate his position to Nigerians.

He stated, “A lack of understanding of the law is harming Nigeria. People are unaware of it. This gazetted federal law clearly states that the Chief Judge cannot instruct Binta Nyako on her actions. It’s right here—your own legislation; just follow it. That’s why I act as I do.”

“I advocate for Biafra. It is my right to do so, yet they have redefined it from a treasonable felony to terrorism.”

However, Kanu argued that Nyako lacked the jurisdiction to try him, stating that many events were occurring in the country which remained unknown to a lot of people.

“She has absolutely no authority to judge my case. She is recused from it entirely. There are events unfolding in this country that many of you are unaware of, and it’s my responsibility to bring clarity on these issues today because the deception has gone too far.”

I submitted a petition to the NCJ but prefer not to discuss it. It seems that Justice Binta Nyako is using her position for personal benefit, which constitutes a breach of judicial oath.

“They have breached their judicial oath and demonstrated bias, as confirmed by the Supreme Court. This bias is directed against me; that’s what the Supreme Court has stated. As a result, this partiality explains why recent judgments and rulings concerning my situation have occurred in such a manner. The Supreme Court clearly indicated that there was prejudice involved, asserting I should not have had my bail revoked.”

“Nigeria went to Kenya and abducted him, which is public knowledge. So why do they still insist on putting me on trial?”
