Disbelief, shock trail IPOB leader’s arrest, re-arraignment

In this file photo taken on May 26, 2017 Political activist and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra movement, Nnamdi Kanu , wearing a Jewish prayer shawl, poses in the garden of his house in Umuahia, southeast Nigeria, before commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the war on May 30. – A Nigerian separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu, whose whereabouts were unknown, has been arrested to face trial, the country’s justice minister said on June 29, 2021.

His reaction was provoked by the Federal Government’s information through its counsel, Labaran, that Kanu jumped bail granted by the court to escape trial by running out of the country. Earlier at a press conference, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, disclosed that Kanu was arrested on Sunday, June 27. The joint press briefing had heads of the DSS and the police, where Malami said Kanu would be returned to court to continue with his trialKanu is facing charges bordering on treasonable felony instituted against him in response to years of campaigning for the Independent Republic of Biafra through IPOB.

He was later sighted in Israel and has since then continued to rally his supporters in Nigeria to employ violence in achieving secession. In February 2020, the authorities had laid in wait for him during the burial of his parents, HRH Eze Israel Kanu and Mrs Sally Kanu but he failed to show up and pay his last respects.

Also, IPOB insisted that it was not aware of the arrest. The group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, told The Guardian: “I am yet to confirm this story. The pictures they are parading on social media are photoshop to us. They said he was arrested in the United Kingdom, but I want to tell you that he was not there. I really hope they know whom they arrested because; it could be a ploy to want him to say something, since they had wanted him to talk in the last few weeks.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo later called for calm and cautioned Igbos to desist from any form of protests and processions that will bring more catastrophes for Southeastern Nigeria.In a statement in Abakaliki, the Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, noted that the re-arrest of Kanu is the beginning of the end of violent agitations in Southeast.

Prominent civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association Of Nigeria in its reaction, charged the government to respect his constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights, including fair and unbiased trial as specified in section 36 of the Constitution.

You cant be above the Masses.
