It is very simple. A child that says Nigeria will not sleep shall surely end up in the mortuary.

Imagine after committing a treasonable felony and being narrowly let off the hook, some useless groups are now demanding for 100Million Naira to be paid in damages.

Tell me, what deters others from also towing that dishonourable path of stoking the fire of disunity when they know it pays at the end.
When Buhari said if the 2015 election was rigged that the monkey and the baboon would be soaked in blood...wasn't that a treasonable statement. All this Buhari fans pack one side.

This wanton waste of lives leads us nowhere.

No one should be surprised that these murders will still keep haunting us even many years after.

They did not kill enough, they should should have killed as many as hundreds or even thousands, that is the beauty of a sane society and her law enforcement agencies.

What do you and those who liked what you posted know about human rights and freedoms? This is not about Nigeria and Nigerians. We are talking International Laws, protected by the UN, AU, International Court, and all the rest.

Even in Canada, and GB, some people are still agitating for their rights to self-rule. Newfoundland, joined Canada in 1949. Some of the northern territories joined much later. Whenever they feel like it is no longer favourable, all they need is a referendum to determine if they stay in the confederation or not.

Ignorance is what is killing us in this particular case. We must not remain one country by force. If any group wants to pull out, hold a referendum and let the people decide. It is about time we stopped celebrating ignorance and political high-handedness.

We just made that kid and ipob popular. Bad judgement on the part of FG.

The FG bowed to foreign pressure if not KANU would have been left to rot somewhere, forgotten.

Violent secession or not, KANU has finally gotten the attention he has been craving which is a huge step in his favour.

We will see how it goes from here on.

Foreign pressure frm where & which country?. Is it frm Britain whom he goes about railing against but is so shameless & dishonorable as to still carry their passport?. Don't forget dat we hav in power a man who has put down many insurrections in our history including Biafra & Maitatsine & is eminently qualified to quell any biafra unrests.
On a personal level Kanu may hav gotten some notoriety but going forward, i think he shouldn't push his luck further. Britain wit their security consciousness will frm now on, monitor d activities of dis individual who was cited 4 terrorism by d Nigerian authorities. He preached war against Nigeria & was captured as an enemy of d state but was shown magnanimity & mercy.  Kanu got away dis time, if there's a next time he won't. U can take dat to d bank.

•HURIWA seeks N100m for IPOB leader

From Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha

FIVE members of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) were yesterday allegedly shot dead by securitymen in Onitsha, Anambra State while celebrating the release by an Abuja High Court of Radio Biafra Director, their leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu. The IPOB members who were jubilating at the Bridge Head in Onitsha clashed with the security operatives resulting in the death of five persons.

There was tension among motorists and commuters along the busy Niger Bridge area, Enugu/Onitsha Expressway over fear of possible blockage of the Bridge Head by the IPOB members.

The supporters, who on hearing about the court’s favourable verdict on Kanu converged at the statue of the late Biafran leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu- Ojukwu in a large procession from Bridge Head to the town when they were intercepted by the security operatives.

An eyewitness, who is also a trader at Bridge Head Market, Chibuike, said trouble started when the IPOB members were asked to stop their march towards the River Niger Bridge, but the group insisted and continued, an action that led to the fracas and shootings.

He said the security agents shot sporadically probably to disperse the crowd. They might have been hit by stray bullets, he noted.

Another source said a soldier was among the casualties but could not confirm whether he died or not.

As at Press time, traders and artisans who transact business around the area had to shut their shops to avoid possible attack by the IPOB members or possible stray bullets.

When contacted, the Police Area Commander for Onitsha, Mr. Philip Ezekiel, told our reporter to call back later, saying there was emergency in the town.

Earlier in the day and after three months of incarceration by the Department of State Services (DSS), Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja released Kanu.

Ruling on a bail application filed by his lawyer, Mr. Vincent Egechukwu Obeta, Justice Ademola also set aside an order earlier granted the DSS to detain Kanu for 90 days to enable the security agency complete its investigation.

The judge said Kanu’s continued detention after three months without trial, violated section 158 of theAdministration of Criminal Justice (ACJ) Act 2015 and section 35 of the 1999 Constitution.

He said there was no law that permits the DSS or any other security agency to detain any Nigerian beyond the period stipulated by the Constitution, when in fact, there was no intention to put the person on trial.

“From the available facts before the court, it is clear that the DSS either lacked enough materials to prosecute the applicant in court or yet to make up its mind on prosecution,” he said.

The judge, however, frowned at Kanu’s claim that Terrorism Prevention Act 2013 (Amended) was illegal, adding that the Act is a potent legislation to check terrorism.

A Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja had on Wednesday struck out a criminal charge against Kanu by the DSS. Chief Magistrate Shauibu Usman, in a ruling discontinued the trial of Kanu, following a motion to that effect filed by the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Moses Idakwo.

The fact of the case, according to DSS report was that the accused formed an unlawful society with the purpose of bringing into being a Republic of Biafra. He was alleged to have proclaimed himself as the leader of the Republic of Biafra and established a radio Biafra.

Meanwhile, a pro-democracy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has applauded the unconditional and immediate release of the IPOB leader.

HURIWA said Justice Ademola should have awarded Kanu N100 million against DSS for detaining him for three months over his rights’ violation.

“HURIWA has therefore, expressed conviction that the Federal High Court, Abuja division which freed Mr. Kanu, the political prisoner of conscience should have awarded nothing less than N100 million damages to be paid to the released detainee for the flagrant breach of his fundamental rights and for prolonged period of psychological and physical torture that the Department of State Services subjected him to in the past weeks,” it said in a statement.

HURIWA through its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and the National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf, commended the court for this courageous decision but noted that the DSS would have been heavily penalised for these abuses of the rights of a citizen.

[b]A careless president makes a speech about a 95% to 5% dichotomy of voters, he forgets that after an election is concluded the whole country becomes your constituency and you become the father of all. He follows up by brazenly trying to deny a major group political participation, and when his hands are tied and he must appoint lieutenants, he does so in such a way as to spite them and also pitting them against another group.

An idi.ot called Nnamdi Kanu floats a radio station and uses it to spread hatred, he tells Igbo people that Nigerian's hate them, and this is why they are marginalized, the idiot becomes the face of the agitations for Biafra.

The id.iot flies into Nigeria and is arrested, the face of the struggle is arrested, it is now confirmed that Nigerians hate the Igbo people.

My Igbo people are a very emotional people and some people are trying to play on those emotions, the purpose of this is to induce them to agitations that will lead to their split from Nigeria, precipitating Nigeria's eventual breakup.

This is the summary of Plan B when Plan A failed. God is watching.

Don't show ur ignorance by comparing Kanu's attempt at violent secession wit self-determination as promoted in those countries dat u quoted. Kanu is on YouTube video soliciting 4 guns & bullets to wage a war of violent secession against Nigeria. No country in d civilized world would support such a misadventure.
I'm not aware of any international statutes dat support violent secession as preached by Kanu, rather, d declaration on principles of international law adopted by d UN in 1970, declares dat there are no legal grounds for secession. dis is because at least half of all modern states have emerged thru conquests or amalgamation & if we are going to try to eliminate all historical injustices through secession, d modern world would be dragged into a bloody large scale war.
There is a diversity of choices dat support & make self-determination possible but not violent secession.
d Fed Govt did d right thing by arresting him. They've shown magnanimity by releasing him but he need not push his luck because even Britain wit their security consciousness will frm now on monitor d activities of an individual who was cited 4 terrorism by d Nigerian authorities.
