Detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has appeal to the British High Commission in Nigeria to prevail upon the Federal Government to set him free.
Kanu, who was arrested on October 14, 2015 and has since been incarcerated, said his trial on treasonable felony is politically orchestrated by the Nigerian government.
The letter dated August 16 and sent to the British High Commissioner by his lawyer, reads in part, “In the face of this conspiratorial plot by the Nigerian government to hang our client at all cost and by any means, we respectfully invite the British government to demonstrate more responsive concern in restoring the dignity and freedom if our client whose fundamental rights as guaranteed under the supreme laws of the land and relevant international conventions has been grossly violated by Nigerian government.”
The IPOB leader also accused the Nigerian government of frustrating his defence.
“Despite our stiff opposition to this application (protection of witnesses), the honourable court for reasons best known to him, apparently not supported by any legal precedence or judicial authorities made a volte-face and strangely varied the order he made on the 19th day of February, 2016.
“In effect, the court granted an application for a secret trial of our client, a British citizen obviously sitting in appeal against his order made on the February 2016,” the letter noted.
*How can his trial be politically Orchestrated?OH PLEASE!
This man has been detained for longer than Necessary which is an abuse of his human rights but my fear is that if released he may do more harm than good and i am sure this is a lot of peoples fear and probably why the UK does not want to intervene.
He should be made to sign an order restricting him from carrying out any form of protest that will lead to war and loss of lives in Nigeria
All you pro-Biafra people who like to cuss out anyone who says their mind,you are free to air yours but Cusses and unintelligent discourse will not be enabled here..Enough is enough.
Politically motivated. Yea right! I guess the video I watched where you were inciting ppl to violence and threatening a sovereign nation was doctored. Always wailing. You cry Biafra but still come into yoir Biafra through nigerian borders. You keep your wife and kids safe but incite less priviledged youths to go die painful deaths while you live in luxury. If you were not caught in lagos, youd have escaped back to britain just like that. They should stop keeping him unnecessarily and take him to trial once and for all.
ReplyDeleteI expect to see cusses as usual. On this blog,one must not say his/her thought except it agrees with some "powers" that be,especially on ethnic matters. We allow our sentiments to becloud our fair reasoning. Cusses back to anybody in advance. 10 folds.
Off to work.
He should be locked up for ever... Imagine where I went to see 9ja vs Germany match some days ago, some group of boys were in support of Germany.....saying they ain't Nigerians but biafrans so there's no way they wanted 9ja to win.
DeleteHe should be locked up for ever... Imagine where I went to see 9ja vs Germany match some days ago, some group of boys were in support of Germany.....saying they ain't Nigerians but biafrans so there's no way they wanted 9ja to win.
DeleteIf they want to sentence him,they should do that already n stop dragging to court any how........if anything happens to him,buhari should be ready to go down with him....
DeleteThat's how people will be awaiting trial till thou kingdom come.
Him*
DeleteThanks Ivory you've said it all. It beats my imagination how he's suddenly become innocent after threatining Somalia for Nigeria. Boasting they have cache of weapons. Fundraising for weapons with heavy chested bodyguards. Calling Nigeria a zoo and the President a pedophile. All of a sudden there is the rise of internet zombies who go about attacking anyone who's view doesn't agree with theirs...after heeding to their master's call. All of a sudden he is innocent, wao. Listen to radio Biafra and hear the madness they preach there. He who cannot live with anyone,can obviously not live alone. Ask south Sudan.
DeleteHe fought federal government of Nigeria so he should stay there and continue with the fight while those fools and blind followers and supporters stay here and winge. He is part of our problems so he can stay there and rote away. If Britain felt he wasaid fighting a just cause, they would have raised their voice for his freedom. If you come under my comment to spit rubbish, may thunder fire you and your family. I'm very angry this morning.
DeleteWell said ivory and anonymous 11:12. No more, no less.
DeletePlaying the victims card all of a sudden. You committed treason my friend, deal with it. Why would the British govt intervene in something they know is unlawful and wouldn't encourage in their own country? You think they can be monopolized by cheap sentiments? Try again
This guy is a danger to all Nigerians, especially his own people. U cannot plan to wage a war against ur country and expect to be protected by its laws. It is for people like this that Guantanamo Bay was created. He has no rights!
ReplyDeleteThey should leave this man for the love of God!! Buhari and his many acts of vengeance ehnn, but he's rather too old, he should concentrate more on making peace with himself
ReplyDeleteBuhari and his act of vengeance you say? After threatening to wage war against a country,buying weapons it's now buhari's fault. Let me remind you Buhari is the President of Nigeria thus his responsibility to protect its sovereignty. If the FG didn't act and tomorrow he fulfilled his threats same people will come barking how Buhari did nothing.
DeleteIn your next world when you hear Nija you go run. Ewu
ReplyDeleteWhy im dey beg? Shebi im say im be oga, yeye dey smell, biafara ko farabia ni.
ReplyDeleteThey should free this man jare
ReplyDeleteI'm not an advocate of violence, but I think they nigerian government its taking it to far by detaining him for this long. Should anything happen to him while in prison... Your guess is as good as mine.
ReplyDeleteWhat will happen? Nothing. So far as he is a threat to the security of this country that is his place. There are videos everywhere of him implicating himself. So he is not been held for nothing
DeleteMy dear nothing go happen.
DeleteAbegy, the overwhelming evidences against him are enough to keep him behind bars for ever, and that is in any country where the system works. Do u know how many people lost their lives when the nonsense started? Imagine they didn't arrest this man... they should try him and sentence him once and for all. That's all.
DeleteSo this man is still in detention, abi? Buhari you are cursed, if you don't release this man,once a dictator always a dictator. Release Kanu clueless president, he is not the cause of your bad administration,nothing should happen to him,if not your Ostrich neck will be on the gallows
ReplyDeleteIf you care about him like this, how come u are not aware that he is still in detention?
DeleteIt's your neck that will visit the gallows. Nothing will happen, if he's not released. Bunch of noise makers
DeleteYou will do nothing..
DeleteWhen he was inciting violence on youths did you condemn it?
Do you know how many people have died since last year cos of this Biafra stuff?
I repeat you will do nothing...since when buhari arrested him na only mouth i dey see no action.
Stella don talk the one she sabi
ReplyDeleteSo Kanu is appealing to the UK government to help him after all the protest,disunity and loss of lives his biafra protest has caused??? So is this how he will abandon his supporters when he starts another war?Shame on him but the biggest shame goes to his supporters who don't want to use their brain,how many of you have dual citizenship that can enable you port quickly when the reality of war stares you in the face? before you clamour for war and separation just go and watch Videos of the Syrian war and any other real life war on the Internet, maybe that will reset your brain.
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeletePelee ti e! When you're finally out, I believe you must have learnt your lesson by then.
ReplyDeleteIt's only a smart man that will run so he can live to fight another day when water pass garri.
Stella thank you my sister! Let them be fooling themselves! I have always said it instead of dividing this country, young people should stop allowing politicians use them as a tool for destruction... Let Nnamdi succeed in tbis agitation for Biafra.. Igbo people will be shocked at the 360 degrees change!
ReplyDeleteWhat is even more annoying is the fact that Igbos don't like themselves and have this arrogant superiority complex among themselves.Now how will they survive? their case will just be like that of south Sudan.they will start another civil war between themselves and make life miserable for innocent children.
ReplyDeleteIgbos do not like themselves, n majority of them voted GEJ. Unlike the south south that r divided interms of casting their vote for GEJ. My dear when it comes to unity, and one mind give the credit to IGBOS.
DeleteAnon 12.01, South Sudan thought exactly the same thing
DeleteUK government will not herself in this. He got himself in the web of mess.
ReplyDeleteOga Kanu, calm down for ghe consequence of your action.
Involve*
DeleteThe*
Eeya the kuje prison don tire you
ReplyDeleteStella, this is not even about Nnamdi Kanu alone.
ReplyDeleteWe all can't hold the same view on issues so people should be allowed to air their opinions in peace without being insulted for it.
Why call people names because they have processed something in a different way?
Can you not disagree under the persons comment and come up with a superior argument?
This not a market place. It is a blog and we are here to have fun but let's curb our madness and know our limits.
He hasnt seen 'nohin' yet.
ReplyDeleteWhen he was constistuting nuisance and inciting voilence on his radio biafra he didnt know right? Na now eyes wan clear am.
He should enjoy his stay in goal and be his ppl hero na.....when you dont like your freedom,this is what you get.
Shan-tellyyyyyyy!!
DeleteI thought he wanted to be like mandela,so he don tire?smh
ReplyDeleteThis Nnamdi Kanu or whatever is an unintelligent fellow . How can he leave the comfort of his abode in UK and expect not to locked up in Nigeria indefinitely? He should sign whatever needs to be signed and go back and take care of his new family. Or he can prove stubborn and die like a rat just like Abiola. And the country will move on like nothing happen or some jobless lazy youths can take to the streets and risk getting shot by soldiers doing their legitimate job.
ReplyDeleteWow wow!! A round of applause for James! I didn't want to comment but James forced me to. Very intelligent comment.
DeleteAlright alright, whoever stole James' phone should kindly return it. This is so un-james like.

DeleteI can't believe you Jemisi wrote that. Nigeria will surely get better.
DeleteBritain wey get their own problems full ground na em you dey call to come help you?
ReplyDeleteBritain be like: Bet we nor send you na.
Shey he wanted to be popular? He should quit complaining and face his self inflicted problems.
Igbos should forget about the land of the rising Sun for now.
ReplyDeleteLet the Niger Delta people fight for their own justice. It is their turn. Let igbos stay on the side line and watch.
Biafra or the darling LAND OF THE RISING SUN can not or ever be forgotten. In stead of agitating for the breakaway of Biafra from Nigeria, I think what they should be doing is pushing for the Biafra-Nigerian civil war to be nationaly recognize and a day set aside to remember and honor all those who lost their lives during the war especially the Biafrans. Over 1 million were strategically starved to death by Obafemi Awolowo and the Nigerian military government at large.
DeleteGOD BLESS NIGERIA
biafra ko biafra ni..mtchewwewwww
ReplyDeleteOn a second thought,why is this man in goal when these wild animals called fulani herds men killing ppl almost on a daily are moving freely around? Arnt they the same?What kind of a biased govt is this? The thunder....hmmm...the thunder!
ReplyDeleteBuhari give your life to christ,vindictive,confused qnd misplaced piority president.
Stella u ré very stupid ! Begging what, just get trafic on your blog, read what his People wrote before posting rubbish ! Hé is à brithish national, i see u now as anti igbo and biafra ! Get lost ! Ewu.
ReplyDeleteCmon getaway motherfucker like you! She will post what she likes...
DeleteYou're so uneducated!
DeleteHe's a British national and he's here in Nigeria trying to cause publicly mayhem.
Stop being silly! Do you know how many gullible Nigerians especially promising youths that have lost their lives by blindly following this charade he calls liberation of Biafra. He must be drunk!!! He should relocate with his family back to Nigeria if he's serious about championing the agitation for the actualization of Biafra.
He's methods are crude and highly ridiculous!!!
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
Up Paragon. Lol.
DeleteAnd to think he's not even a Nigerian citizen!
ReplyDeleteThey should just kill him already, treason is punishable by death in any(?) country and if released, I'm sure he'll cause chaos and death, he may become stronger and go under.
Anyone who wishes death on others for no sensible reason deserves death!
And gullible people were ready to die for this joke of a man? Y'all can see how he's abandoned your "Biafra" and started claiming British citizen? That's how he'll dump you guys after causing death of many.
War ko, war ni.
Britain has better things to do with their time anyway, like people who call on the Nigerian Govt. when caught with drugs in, say Singapore, you use hand find wahala, you're on your own, especially when there are law abiding citizens to worry about.
SHARONNA
Dual nationality.
DeleteAh, why will some people not receive sense,ehn? Sharon's, he's a Nigerian as well as British citizen. Common sense, you no get, come dey write yeye epistle.
DeleteThe Idiot hasn't seen anything yet. After making mouth everywhere now he's begging... Inciting Nigerians to kill themselves while you are drinking tea in England. He should rust there.
ReplyDeleteMallam Buhari haba it have do ,shekau abi na wethin be him name ,still dey out there and you know where to find him yet you pretend not to know ,Kanu ebi like say you never know say britain dey loyal to Nigeria government ,better look for another country to support you e.g puttin
ReplyDeleteAll of you saying nothing will happen if anything bad happens to nnamdi kanu in prison,No b to run mouth for social media, I just pray nothing bad happens to him,the court should pass judgement ASAP.
ReplyDeleteHe incited War but there was no war. Do you think IGBOS are stupid like others? Buhari is just victimising and fighting people. When Buhari said so many hateful thing did anyone arrest him? Even when some of his brothers made hateful comments were they locked up? No. Ali Modu Sherrif imported arms for Boko Haram via Kano Int'l Airport and the arms were impounded, he quickly entered Kano that same day but midnight, did GEJ arrested him? Now an Igbo man said his, coupled with the fact that some Igbos didn't vote for him which is still boiling him till date, and he decided to use that to get IGBOs.
ReplyDeleteMy prayer is God will help NK and the accumulated grudges Baba no clue had for Christians will visit him one day.
Be there fighting stupid battle with your keyboard. When you finish Google the punishment for treason all over the world. Even a nursery school pupil will know it.
DeleteShantell's empire lol @buhari giving his life to christ
ReplyDeleteThis is becoming a critical wahala... This Nnamdi should set free and like Stella has
ReplyDeletesuggested, he should be made to sign an under taking for a non violence protest after he is been freed.
I have a secret to share for anyone struggling with DiabetesClick This Video To Watch The untold story on Diabetes Awareness That You Must Know Or Be Left Out
Saw the headline and just LOL
ReplyDeleteNow let me go back and try to read what Nnamdi has 2say. It's like the walls of his new abode just got colder.
Tongue out @ you. Yea,You Linda. Hahahahahahhaha
Let there be peace in nigeria! Splitting naija isn't d solution, it will only mean more splitting!
ReplyDeleteTo fight the government, you have to be ready. Do I want a Biafra? Yes! I do. On peaceful terms. It has never been one Nigeria. The comments on this blog should show anybody in doubt. I'll never stop wondering what Biafra would have been if the secession had been a success. If it's God's will, Biafra will happen. Until then, I remain a proud Nigerian who will continue praying things go well for the country.
ReplyDeleteHin no b strongman again?? Yellow ewu..
