Hard Times For BIAFRA Leader, Nnamdi kanu As He Fires All His Lawyers After Failure

There was a mild drama at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday as a team of lawyers, numbering about fifteen and working for the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu withdrew from the ongoing case.

This was disclosed by the spokesperson of Kanu’s legal team, Vincent Obetta at the premises of the court shortly after Justice John Tsoho refused the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra bail.

Speaking on the withdrawal, Obetta said, “Following the letter written by the appellant, the team led by Nnoruka Udechukwu, SAN, and Joe Adi, SAN, are no longer part of the team representing Kanu.”

Kanu had addressed a personal handwritten letter to Justice Tsoho, saying he has only two lawyers- Chuks Mouma and Ifeanyi Ejiofor.

Kanu in the letter to the court alleged that one of the counsels on the defence team, M. U. Udechukwu who argued for his bail in the last hearing was not his counsel of choice.

Udechekwu, in his response to the letter disclosed his intention to “stand down” while urging the court to remove his name from the team of the defence counsel.

Kanu’s lawyer, Mouma, however urged Tsoho to proceed with ruling on the bail application not minding the fact that Udechukwu who argued for the application had withdrawn from the matter.

Justice Tsoho in his ruling denied Kanu bail and ordered that he should be sent back to Kuje Prison.

Nigerian can never see change in this life unless they all change their way of thinking, Kalu his fighting for his people freedom because he and his people feels that Nigeria is not where they all belong to me there is nothing wrong with that.  Example :if Nelson Mandela didn't fight for his people they couldn't have found their home and if Martin Luther king didn't fight too the black shouldn't have gotten a place in the USA.
Are you not tired of been headed by some political thieves who only want to take from you and leave you begging. Nigerians suffering and smiling. Mumu people I mean everyone in it.

A Member of The British Parliament Writes The British Government

Following the arrest and detention of Mr. Kanu, a member of the British parliament representing Camberwell and Peckham, MP RT. Hon. Harriet Harman, has written to the British government asking for details of Kanu’s arrest.

The letter which was dated 22 October 2015 and addressed to the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth affairs, Philip Hammond, was titled “Detention of my constituent Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.”

I understand that Mr Nnamdi Kanu, who I am told is a British citizen and lives at …was arrested on the 17th October 2015 by the Nigerian Department of Security Services (DSS) when arriving in Lagos from the United Kingdom. I understand Nnamdi is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who are agitating for the independence of Nigeria’s former Eastern Region. I’m told that the pro-Biafra group is non-violent and therefore should be afforded protection under Article 1 of the charter of the United Nations.

I’d be grateful if you could let me know your understanding of what Nnamdi has been arrested for, what he might be charged with, where he has been held and what consular engagement there has been.

On 16 November 2015 the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Philip Hammond replied that the Nigerian authorities granted access to the British Consular in Nigeria to see Mr. Kanu and he was charged for Illegally entering into Nigeria, conspiracy to incite violence and being the leader of an illegitimate society or group. Mr. Hammond promised that the British Consular will make further consular visit to check on his well-being.

The stage is now set for the actualization of Biafra. It will take a while longer. But we now have our first prisoners of conscience. It is certain that they are all going in for life imprisonment. The real implication of the judges statement is that the UN and the International community must now tell us if their charter that established the right to self determination is just a joke. They must now tell us if thousands or millions must die again as in South Sudan before the UN would wake to their responsibility.
