The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu said an additional year in detention by the Nigerian Government will not kill him.
The pro-Biafra agitator disclosed this on Tuesday while speaking to journalists upon the resumption of his trial in the Federal High Court in Abuja.
He expressed dismay that the Court has refused to abide by the determination of the Supreme Court on his request for bail.
He accused the court of cherry picking what was contained in the Supreme Court Judgement.
The IPOB leader insisted that there cannot be any trial when key sections of the Nigerian Constitution have been allegedly violated by the Court.
“I am surprised that a high court refused to abide by the determination of the Supreme judgment. The cherrying picking of what was contained in the judgment is what I am against. It should be implemented holistically. I am not against any trial after all I am innocent. They have nothing against me, but there can not be any trial when the key section of the Constitution and a key section of the Supreme Court judgment have been violated by a court of law.
“This is my Fourth year in solemn confinement in detention. The fifth year won’t kill me” he said.
Recall that since June 2021, Kanu has been arrested by the Nigerian Government and has been under the custody of the Department of State Security Service despite the wide range of calls for his release.
