The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has lambasted Nigeria’s prosecutors and Nigerian courts over poor knowledge of the laws of the country.
Kanu, visibly angry after his appearance at the Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday, said that his prosecutors and the court do not know Nigeria’s laws.
According to him, poor knowledge of the law by Nigerian courts and Nigeria’s prosecution is killing the country and orchestrating injustice in the country.
In a video recorded by Channels Television and sighted by SaharaReporters, Kanu said, “The prosecution and this court don’t know the law, that is the fact.
“Poor knowledge of the law is killing Nigeria. They don’t know the law.
“A federal gazetted law of Nigeria says that the chief judge of Nigeria cannot tell Binta Nyako what to do. It is here; it is your law. Just obey it.
“That is why I do what I do. I agitate for Biafra. It is my right to agitate. They turned it from treasonable felony now to terrorism.”
”The prosecution and the court don’t know the law, that is the fact. Poor knowledge of the law is killing Nigeria.”

Also, Kanu’s lead counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, said that Kanu’s case has been concluded as the IPOB leader’s legal team insisted that Justice Binta Nyako no longer possesses jurisdiction over Kanu’s case.
Ejimakor said, “Today’s “hearing” of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case is concluded.
“We stood our ground & told the Judge that she no longer possesses jurisdiction over Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and that we appeared “under protest”.
“Onyendu took the center stage and spoke eloquently. Case adjourned sine die (indefinitely).”
