Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has described the bench warrant against him by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, as “a mere academic exercise”.

He also said the Federal Government could not incite the world against him.

In a statement obtained by our correspondent in Awka, Anambra State, the IPOB leader said, “The international and diplomatic community would surely ignore the bench warrant.

“I remain eternally grateful to my sureties for standing by me all through my travails, trials and tribulations.

“It smacks of judicial persecution for Justice Binta Nyako handling my case to claim that my sureties had withdrawn their surety.

“Justice Binta Nyako’s bench warrant against me makes the judiciary complicit in the persecution of innocent people and IPOB since mid 2015.

“Where a case is for hearing of motion, the trial judge must hear the motion and adjourn for any other process. On no account should they hear a motion and hear the merits of the matter, not to talk about delivering judgment. The judge may consider doing that in the very rare circumstance of consent by parties

“When a matter has been adjourned for a particular purpose, it is my view that the business of the court on the day the matter is adjourned is the purpose for which it was adjourned.

“It is expected that parties have come prepared for that purpose for which the matter was adjourned. If it is expedient to change the purpose, it cannot be done by the court suo motu (on its own) as the parties must agree.”

He said in March last year a continental human rights court restrained the FG from persecuting of members of IPOB, regretting that the government had yet to obey the order.

Kanu said, “The arrest, detention and murder of IPOB family members is illegal, unconstitutional and in breach of the written laws of Nigeria. The fact that judges and supposed legal practitioners allow this travesty to continue is indicative of the level of ignorance that pervades the Nigerian judiciary.”

Kanu, who is facing trial alongside other IPOB members over alleged treason, has not appeared in court months after he was granted bail.

Justice Nyako revoked the bail granted Kanu in 2017and issued an arrest warrant against him, citing his continued absence from court.

What is funny about the whole thing is that everybody knows that the Federal Government sent an assassination team made up of Soldiers to go and kill Kanu. Yet the courts are wondering why Kanu is not in court. Of what use is it to the courts if Kanu returns to be killed by government? Do dead people go to court?

They were not going to kill him. They were just going to forcefully arrest him.

Now, I don't expect you to cry "its because he's Igbo" and all of those your Igbo orthodox wailings.

The same treatment was meted out to Zaczaky who is a northerner. Kanu wouldn't have been an exception

KANU is a funny man! He deceived people into thinking that he's a messiah
I can never trust a man who supported the APC during election.

Forcefully arrest him on what basis?? What offence did Kanu commit??

Is Kanu a member of miyetti Allah??

Or is he the leader of boko haram??

My dear brother, the Army has no constitutional power to go and arrest anybody in their house. The only people empowered to make arrest are the police and its attendant agency such as DSS. The only the Army cann arrest a person is if the person is committing a crime in front of them. But to go to a person to make an arrest is not their job, do the Army going to Kanu's house was illegal


Secondly, the Army went to Kanu's house and opened fire, killing unarmed people. They even killed Kanu's Dog. Is that how to make arrest? To go somewhere and just open fire for no just cause?

The government sent Soldiers to Kanu's house on an assassination attempt

What the Soldiers did in the case of Elzakzaky and Kanu was not only illegal, it was genocide
