‘I will end insecurity in South East in two minutes if I’m released’ – Nnamdi Kanu vows
*As court dismisses his appeal against police, DSS
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra( IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed that he will end the insecurity in the South East in two minutes, if released from detention.
Kanu said nobody in the South East can counter his orders concerning the security situation in the region.
The infuriated Biafra agitator spoke while addressing journalists within the courtroom of the Abuja Federal High Court on Tuesday.
Kanu said, “I suspect that some people in government are making money out of insecurity in the South East; they know that once Nnamdi Kanu is outside, in two minutes, this nonsense will stop.
“Who’s the idiot that can alter my orders in the South East? Nobody can. I Nnamdi Kanu, let me come out of this nonsense, and in two minutes, there will be peace in the South East.”
Earlier, Justice Binta Nyako had declined Kanu’s application for bail.
The judge, however, ordered an accelerated hearing of the case involving Kanu, who is facing charges bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony.
Kanu, who was brought to the court on Tuesday, has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, since his arrest in June 2021.
Delivering the ruling, Justice Nyako held that the court would only grant an accelerated hearing in the matter and ordered the prosecution to call its first witness.
Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal Abuja has dismissed the appeal brought before it by Felix Okonkwo, one of the lawyers to the detained Nnamdi Kanu, over his unlawful arrest and detention by the Police and the Department of State Services (DSS).
Delivering Judgement, Justice Okon Abang dismissed the appeal for want of merit and substance.
Justice Abang held that the appellant failed to establish miscarriage of justice in the judgment of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja in the matter.
He further held that from the video footage tendered as exhibit by the appellants at the trial court, there was no where the operatives of the SSS were found at the scene of their arrest in the house of Ifeanyi Ejiofor in Anambra state.
The appellate court Justice disagreed with the appellants in their claims that the N2 million compensatory damages was grossly insufficient.
