BIAFRA NEWS : NIGERIA FG resumes Nnamdi Kanu’s trial on terrorism charges November 14

 


The Federal Government will on Monday, November 14 resume the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu on terrorism charges brought against him.

The trial will centre only on seven out of 15 count charges sustained against Kanu by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

A member of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers, Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, confirmed that the trial would commence on November 14 having received notice from the court to the effect.

However, DAILY POST gathered that the trial would be vehemently opposed by the leader of the legal team, Chief Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.

Our correspondent was reliably informed that a motion on notice objecting to the commencement of the trial has already been filed and would take the front stage at the November 14 proceedings.

DAILY POST observed that the objection to the trial was predicated on two grounds which were the judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered in October which voided the rendition of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria and subsequently quashed the terrorism charges and discharged him from the alleged offences.

 


 

The second ground was the appeal against the Court of Appeal decision brought to the Supreme Court by the Federal Government.

Our correspondent noted in the sighted motion on notice that Ozekhome SAN sought for suspension of the trial pending the outcome of the Supreme Court on the issue.

Justice Nyako would however be expected to give ruling one way or the other after taking arguments for and against the motion.

Meanwhile, security arrangements have been put in place to ensure hitch-free proceedings in the courtroom and outside the court premises.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
