From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that he is not expecting any favourable judgment from any courts in Abuja in continuation of his trial.
According to a statement by Kanu’s younger brother, Emmanuel, the IPOB leader made his mind known when his legal team visited him at the DSS headquarters where he is being detained.
Kanu was reported to have hinged his assertion based on the fact that his cases were not decided in accordance with the rules of law, but laced with politics.
His words: “The legal team has concluded today’s (Friday) visitation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He asked us to inform the general public that he’s not expecting any favourable judgment from any courts in Abuja because his cases are not decided in accordance with the rules of law, but the rules of politics – dirty and deadly politics.”
The IPOB leader was quoted as saying that the way and manner the laws were applied to him were not in conformity with the written laws of Nigeria or the pertinent international laws.
“Those benefitting from insecurity are the ones deciding what negative decisions to deliver because if justice were to be done, the well-orchestrated and heavily funded attacks and demonization of his person and his lofty mission would no longer resonate with the public,” he said.
Kanu was said to have urged the public to read all court decisions and judgments pertaining to him and IPOB to understand that what the law says is not what was being done.
He insisted that his trial was a sham designed to destroy truth and justice.
