The legal representative of the Indigenous people of Biafra(IPOB), Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofor has advised the sureties who signed the bail bond of the now missing leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu, not to worry as they won't be held liable.

PoliticsNGR gathered that Ejiofor, who has also petitioned the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce Kanu in court dead or alive, added that only the court of law can determine if Kanu flouted his bail conditions or not.

Ejiofor told sun;

"The issue of whether Nnamdi Kanu flouted his bail conditions or not doesn’t lie in the hands of the military or even the Executive to determine. It’s the court; allow the court to decide on it. This is a matter of argument and law.

The military has positioned itself as taking over the matter before a court. Is the military the enforcement arm of the court? It’s even more curious when the court has not revoked the bail; the court has not said go and arrest him, so he’s still enjoying the bail granted him by court.

Let me say this; if Kanu had, in the course of enjoying the bail granted him by the court, been seen to have committed any offence outside the one being tried in court, they can simply wait and let him come to court. If he comes to court on October 17, they could arrest him on those supposed offences.

There is no law that says that anybody being tried for any offence and enjoying bail cannot be arrested if the person commits another offence. If actually what they wanted was to arrest him; they would have waited for him to come to Abuja. But I know what they wanted was to kill him at all cost; and let me not believe that has taken place by now."

Speaking on the sureties, he pointed out that under the present circumstances, they cannot be touched. In his words;

The point is that you cannot under the circumstance lay hands on the sureties because the circumstance that presented itself is such that had gone beyond the sureties’ control. In legal parlance, it’s called force majeure. It’s not a situation they would be able to control.

The court is a human being; it can listen to our application. If at all this incident never took place and by tomorrow we start looking for Nnamdi Kanu, they will be told to go and produce him.  But in this case, Nnamdi Kanu had been visible; moving around, going places, meeting people and was very certain of coming to Abuja before now to face trial, so, people who attacked him, killed people in his house, wounded people and arrested people, should be in a position to show us where he is.

It now lies with the army; it’s out of the sureties hands, so they cannot be held liable."

Here we go again... Kanu, Buhari, Nigeria, Igbos, Buratai, Ejiofor

I do understand. If a man observing bail conditions in his house comes under attack with great threat to his life, he has every right to flout bail conditions if that is the only way to protect himself.

Thank you able barrister.
The Nigerian federal government and the Nigeria Army must
Bring Back Our Boy
Nnamdi Kanu
or pay the N300million to the sureties
and £20million in damages to IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu's family.

He had already flout bail conditions before the military attack. He was even bragging that nothing will happen again. A man that boasted that the Federal government can't arrest him again.

That is not what he meant. He meant that The sureties has no power to stop army from killing KANU or Disappearing him as the case is. The Sureties also has no power to stop Kanu from breaking the bail conditions. The work of Sureties is to produce Kanu in all court sitting involving him.

I know sir. That was my own different opinion.

Let me say this; if Kanu had, in the course of enjoying the bail granted him by the court, been seen to have committed any offence outside the one being tried in court, they can simply wait and let him come to court. If he comes to court on October 17, they could arrest him on those supposed offences.

There is no law that says that anybody being tried for any offence and enjoying bail cannot be arrested if the person commits another offence. If actually what they wanted was to arrest him; they would have waited for him to come to Abuja.

So if his lawyer knew he could be arrested, what was his advice to Kanu when he heard him commanding his supporters to burn down the country if he is arrested?

If he commits a separate crime (maybe murder or theft) while on bail, what rule states that the authorities have to wait on the arrest order till a court date of a treason case that is not in anyway related to the new crimes committed? Is it a court that will mandate the arrest for the new crimes committed? If so, would there be a trial since such court had already found the accused guilt from the onset?

It is obvious that this lawyer was too intimidated to advise his own client. More like being a lawyer to a mafia boss who already has you by the balls.

If Kanu went to court in Abuja, he would have been arrested for flouting his bail conditions and not for committing a new set of crimes which he truly did. Yet him and his supporters already gave the world the video evidence that they are terrorists who are above lawful arrest, and who would burn down the country if a lawful arrest is effected.

That video evidence freely supplied by IPOB is the most significant tool of their damnation.

All the Biafran apologists can now see that nothing would happen if Kanu was arrested, yet a man calling on UN conventions was himself not respectful to the laws of the land.

Now that he is a terrorist confirmed by the Nigerian court, all the past legalese which he was disrespectful of, has become a luxury not afforded to his type. He will now be rounded up with fury, and thrown into a dungeon till the government is ready to deal with him.

BiafraMyAss:

They should have just rearrested him and sent him back to court with evidence instead of sending the military to harass him and everyone else in the east.

Remember that Nnamdi Kanu, a true Igbo man,
rejected Nigeria's billions and oil wells.
Remember that Ndigbo home and abroad
have the financial muscle to fund Biafra.

Ndigbo didn't trade Biafra for money in the 1960s.
Ndigbo won't trade Biafra for zillions now or in the future.
That is why the Nigerian government got so desperate
and attacked Nnamdi Kanu in his home.
Prior to that, he had challenged them
to defeat him with superior argument and not by force of arms.
The rest they say is history.

hello!
please spare me any cock and bull story!
Who promised Nnamdi Kanu oil wells and billions?
You think "The Jubril from Sudan" in Aso Rock has the time and mind to negotiate that with Kanu?

It is only the court that have the right to determine whether he flouted his bail conditions. The prosecutor have no right to take laws into his own hands especially a matter in court. FG made a serious mistake.

Just produce your client on October 17. Dazzall

Dis iposhit terrorist Lieyer no dey hear word sha

I laugh when i see this drama. The chicken heart mumu kanu is hiding for his stupidity and some foolish people are still talking trash.
First the lawyer said the fg should bring out chicken kanu, now he is giving assurance that those whose stood for him will not loose their stake. What will give him such confidence if he is not in communication with the chicken. Lawyers are well informed of the truth about their clients so that they can prepare their defense.

The reason why the fg is not even saying anything about this trash and all we see is their action being a shocker.

If he doesn't come out of hiding then the money has to be forfeited... That's why you get for backing or standing for an idiot.

Gbam…. My comment on another thread

Kanu shot himself in the foot by agreeing to his bail conditions which he has breached , the whole world saw a healthy fitter than PMB Kanu running from one rally to another…. Recall how you guys where shouting how healthy and fresh Kanu was in those rallies…… How the Igbos crowd is bigger than Trumps inauguration crowd….. Recall how egberetvnews, Radio Biafra, Biafraherald were all flocking the internet with pics of Kanu running rallies up and down…. Well, you poeple have used your hand to make the job easy for the Judiciary…. Those Videos and Pics will be very usefull when the Juidiciary wants to STRIKE OUT Kanus case…. Una chestbeating don help return Kanu back to Kuje

Only laymen like you will think you just made a serious point.

I now understand why cerebral lawyers like Mogbo et all, abandoned the defence of Kanu.

I have never heard of any freedom fighter hiding from prosecution.As bad as China or Russia is,freedom fighters are not running away from prosecution
Kanu is a coward! Ojukwu AtleAst fought for 4years before running away.This one is a certified a$$$hole
