The lawyer insisted that Mr Kanu did not jump bail but was compelled to flee the country after his Afara-ukwu residence was invaded by the Nigerian security forces in September, 2017.Mr Ejiofor said the President’s comment, coming barely a week to the court sitting, was intended to influence the court ruling in favour of the Nigerian government.
Mr Ejiofor said it was unfortunate that the President made the comments despite declaring at different events that he would not interfere in the judicial proceedings, after rejecting appeals by some Igbo leaders to intervene for Mr Kanu through a political solution. The lawyer called on international communities to take note of the president’s comments, just as he urged the court “to remain firm in the discharge of her judicial functions and uphold justice without bowing to pressure.IPOB, a separatist group led by Mr Kanu, is agitating for an independent state of Biafra to be carved out from the South-east and some parts of the South-south Nigeria.
