The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN on Wednesday said that the trial of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently facing treasonous charges at the Federal High Court in Abuja will continue.

Speaking on a Channels Television programme ‘ Politics Today’ monitored by DAILY INDEPENDENT, Malami said the issue of pardon or out of court settlement is not on the table for now.

Speaking on the request by some Igbo leaders that President Muhammadu Buhari should release the IPOB leader, Malami said Kanu can only be pardoned after he may have been convicted.

He said, “Pardon is a function of conviction in the Nigerian context and as far as I know, Nnamdi Kanu has not been convicted yet”.
“So, the idea of pardoning him is premature, against the background of the fact that the trial associated with him has not been concluded. But one thing that I can tell you clearly is that he is standing trial and the trial continues as at today”.

When asked if he believed that a political solution will help douse the tension in the country, Malami said” “I am not ruling out any possibility but that is not immediately on the table. I have not accessed the implication of that in terms of being a solution or a problem.

“As a human and as attorney general of the federation, my reasoning, thinking and thoughts are regulated by the public interests. So, it is the public interest that will guide and influence my decision.

“As to the possibility of accommodating the out of court settlement, one thing I can tell you clearly is that settlement is not right now on the table. it is a bridge that I like enjoy crossing when I get to it.”

BIAFRA will raise.

Ol boy, have you bought diapers for your baby and given money for food? Hope the 30k alert don enter? Comment more so that December own go sure.

Nnamdi Kanu continued trial actually makes Biafra actualizations more hopeful.

Some secret settlements may kill the dream.
What is more important is that IPOB worldwide will win triumphantly.

They have been engaging him to back down, one of the reasons OUK went to visit him.

But trust MNK. He will never compromise. One of the reasons I love him dearly. Not like all these fraudulent freedom fighters.

God bless him forever. Aluta continua.

He will not compromise?

After declaring no referendum no election in 2019, he reversed and supported election.

Nnamdi Kanu will scam his followers and they will still believe they were not scammed.

Let him rot in jail

what fuckery are u saying?

What most of you bla bla bla yabbers in nairaland does not know is that nobody gives a hut about your yarns.
If not, why is FG afraid of conducting referendum? I hope you Nigerians are gearing up on February Subsidy removal?
Your country will continue on a merry go round until you learn your lessons. MNK is smarter than all your half baked mo.ronic leaders.

You are an epitome of Ignorant. Lawmakers are the ones that can only add referendum into the constitution.

You don't have any representative in the national assembly that can speak for you. And you are shouting referendum like a lunatic.

Steps to add referendum into the constitution.

1- Form an alliance with a political party or you form your own political party.
2- Elect senators/house of reps that will speak for you.

This is the major step.

But you won't get referendum because IPOB is run by dumb folks. You don't want to participate in politics, hence nothing for you.

Catalonia that is yet to get independence has done the basic. Catalonia control their own region.

The only thing IPOB controls is SITATHOME which is pathetic.


When they remove subsidy, Nnamdi Kanu will give you and your village IPOB members free fuel.

Go tell that to ignoramuses like you. Elect which Senator? Form which yeye political party? The ones you will rig or the ones you will announce in Abuja?
Which politician will confidently campaign that he will fight for referendum and Abuja will allow him win?
Those clamouring for restructuring, how many of them have succeeded? The ones shouting new constitution different from 1999, how many of them have succeeded? Most of you think we reason like you sef. Sit there waiting for a non existing miracle in your fked up Nigeria.

Biafrans are not begging Nigeria government to pardon Kanu,all they want is unconditional release of prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

self determination is already in the constitution and that settled all.

If self determination is in the constitution, why was the FG after Kanu, Igboho and others?

Lobatan.
He deserves to defend himself in court and prove if he is innocent of the treasonable crimes and crimes of inciting violence against Nigerians. This is the least FG can do to get justice for the victims of the violence incited by him.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria forever.
