Nnamdi Kanu was never in favour of sit-at-home – Lawyer, Ozekhome

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the jailed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has increased his demand for the cessation of repeated sit-at-home operations in the country’s south-eastern region.

In a video obtained by Obasanjonews24, Kanu addressed through one of his lawyers, Mike Ozekhome, SAN.

On Monday, Dan Nwomeh, the Senior Special Assistant, Mainstream Media to Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, tweeted the video on his Twitter account.

Kanu, according to Ozekhome, does not believe in the sit-in, claiming that he cannot fight for his people while shutting down their economy.

He emphasised the sit-at-home exercise’s impact on people’s social, economic, cultural, and political lives, regretting that it has put them under psychological, psychical, and mental restraint.

“As his lead counsel and lawyer, he has told me that he does not believe in it (Sit-at-home); he cannot fight for his people while crippling their economy.” What do they eat? How are they going to raise their children? Many times in my presence, he begged me to release him so that he could hold a world press conference and address the Igbo and Ala Igbo and the entire world, saying, “Don’t stay at home on Mondays, go about your normal duties, go to work; because the Bible says it is upon the labour of your hands that I will bless the fruits of your labour.”

“So, I am now re-echoing what Nnamdi Kanu has told me, “He does not believe in that sit-at-home on Mondays,” which cripples people’s social, economic, social, cultural, and political lives, subjecting them to psychological, psychical, and mental stricture and torture,” Kanu said through Ozekhome.
