Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu has threatened that
soon he will expose details that will sink Nigeria.
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
and Director of Radio Biafra, made the threat at his
resumed trial on Tuesday. This is coming after the
trial Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court
in Abuja granted the Federal Government the nod
to shield identities of witnesses billed to testify
against Nnamdi Kanu.
Justice Nyako who held that names of all the
witnesses who are mostly security operatives,
would not be disclosed in any record of the court
proceedings also said that the witnesses would be
allowed to testify against the defendants behind a
screen that would be provided by the court.
Justice Nyako however stressed that both the
defendants and their counsel would be allowed to
see the witnesses who she said would enter and
exit the courtroom through a special door.
Kanu rejected the court ruling, insisting that it was
against the tenets of Justice and fair hearing.
“I won’t stand this travesty of Justice. Buhari
spoke in public, he accused me in public. I must
also be allowed to stand my trial in public”, Kanu
bellowed from the dock.
“This is nonsense! I will give testimony before this
court! By the time I finish, there will be no Nigeria.
This is no Sharia court. It is a court that operates
under the common law.
“There will be no screening of witnesses, no fake
identities or fake addresses. I cannot be tried in
secret. No! Nnamdi Kanu cannot be jailed in
secret! They are mad. Why must I be tried in
secrecy by a government that does not obey court
orders.
“They are killing my people in public, after killing
my people they want to try me in private? That
person is mad. I won’t allow it“, Kanu fumed.
You may wish to know that Kanu is facing an 11-
count charge bordering on reasonable felony.
