Supreme Court judgement: I’m not broken — Nnamdi Kanu

The embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has broken his silence following the Supreme Court verdict on Friday.

Recall that the apex court ruled that Kanu must face trial on terrorism allegations against him by the Federal Government.

Speaking after the judgment, Kanu through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor said he would not be broken by the Supreme Court verdict.

Citing some of the sections of the Nigeria constitution, he said:  “The eventual verdict of the Supreme Court was conveyed to Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and he expressed reservations on the outcome.

“However, Onyendu elected to accept this outcome because of the finality of the Supreme Court decisions, and not because they are infallible.

Nevertheless, in accepting this verdict, Onyendu specifically requested that the following compelling questions be put out publicly to the discerning members of the public, who are keenly following the trajectory of this case: to wit:

“Did the decision of the Supreme Court, which substantially sanctioned the Federal Government’s illegal  act of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s abduction and extraordinary rendition to Nigeria, effectively repeal the following Nigerian laws, which were all cited in our brief before the Supreme Court?

Onyendu seized the opportunity offered by the visit to remind Ezigbo UmuChineke that he is not broken by whatever situation he is faced with, but they should be doubly assured that he shall emerge victorious in the end.

“Onyendu once again thanked Ezigbo UmuChineke for your prayers and love, even as he encouraged all to remain focused and keep their eyes on the ball.

Onyendu enjoined his followers to continue to conduct themselves peacefully as they have always done.”
