FG insists Kanu’s rearrest, repatriation followed legal process

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has said the rearrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, was in accordance with the legal process, Newspremises reports.

The Special Assistant to the Minister on Media and Public Relations, Jibrilu Gwandu, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents on Friday, stated that the IPOB leader was represented by a lawyer throughout the judicial process that led to the grant of his earlier bail.

Kanu, who is facing an 11-count charge of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism and illegal possession of firearms, among others, jumped bail in 2017 and left the country, only to re-emerge in Israel and then in the United Kingdom.

The former London estate agent was rearrested on Tuesday. He was initially arrested in late 2015 after calling for a separate state for Biafra, in South-East Nigeria.

He was re-arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday and ordered to be remanded in the custody of the DSS, while the case was adjourned till July 26 and July 27.

Gwandu told Sunday PUNCH, “Bench warrant was lawfully and judiciously procured through judicial process by a competent court of law, whose bail conditions he breached with impunity.

“He (Nnamdi Kanu) has been represented by a counsel all through the judicial process and was never denied a right of choice of counsel or recourse to one, even when he symbolises a proscribed association (IPOB) in law and, in fact, his association has been legally proscribed.

“So, there was no illegality in the entire process.”

Gwandu also told one of our correspondents that although the Office of the AGF had a meeting with the British High Commissioner on Thursday, the IPOB leader’s rearrest was not discussed.

“The legality or otherwise of Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest was not discussed in the meeting. I sent you a press release on the issues that were discussed. The meeting was scheduled long before the arrest,” he said.

Be fooling yourself.

People are talking of the current arrest, you are talking of the previous legal representation that lead to his bail.

The man was in the country before they invaded his house. What did you expect him to do after armed invasion of his house?

A

Save us the cock and cow story, it obvious the Dot Nationalist was kidnapped from Kenya.

It’s 5:20AM , I’ll reply back by 5:20PM because I’m sure zombies �‍♀️ �‍♂️ Would soon come to defend their Master

Then come clean and tell us where and how you arrested him

All these Nigeria government no normal.

IPOB is a movement...

Biafra is an Ideology..


The movement may at some point seems halted but the ideology never dies.

Know this..know peace!

Kanu or not, I see another taking the lead for the Biafra agitation.

Buhari has a case with legality in all his dealings. Himself being a product of illegality has subtily suspended the Constitution.

The end justifies... legal or not

They are running helterskelter now defending the kidnap.
Dem just dey chop live snake,e don choke them,think say na meat dem catch.

The truth is that anyway is legal to repatriate or even killed terrorist.

From news it was a propaganda invading from the stable of ipob. It was staged for MNK to jump bail. No army enter his compound and I repeat no army enter his compound. If I am lieing prove it. Video of Nigerian army personnel's inside his compound shooting people and killing. Don't show a video here without any army officer inside the said house and only ipob idiots making false allegations. Show concrete evidence..
