Nnamdi Kanu who is the director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu on Tuesday morning arrived the Federal High Court Abuja for the commencement of his trial, but refused to come down from the prison van, This led the prison officials to call his lawyer, Chuks Mouma, who after much persuasion was able to get Kanu to come down from the vehicle. He however refused to take off the handcuffs on him even while being led to the courtroom. The Department of State Services, DSS, had arraigned the embattled Director of Radio Biafra before Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the same court on a six-count charge of treasonable felony but the matter could not be continued following Kanu’s vote of no confidence on Mohammed. Following Kanu’s vote of no confidence on the judge, the matter was brought before Justice John Tsoho. The defence counsel, Mouma had on January 25, filed an application before the Tsoho-led court seeking for an adjournment on the consideration of bail. Following the application, Justice John Tsoho had adjourned the matter till January 29 for ruling on the bail application. Justice Tsoho in his ruling on January 29, denied Kanu bail on the ground that he was a threat to national security. Tsoho held that if Kanu was granted bail, he may go back and commit the same crime for which he was been prosecuted, adding that he may jump bail due to his dual citizenship. He consequently adjourned the matter till today, February 9, for commencement of trial.

Why will they handcuff him at d first. He is a criminal? If u say wat he did is treason or whatever then why is dat thief dasuki not been handcuff all d time they bring him to prison. They shld let him go and he can be coming from home. I don't support break up or d country but at least he shld be bail haba. Or is d case he is been accuse of not bailable?

U better thank God it's democracy in action ,otherwise dem for no dey see your break light again on the street of Nigeria .Democtazcy paved way for some nuisance character and it accommodate critics,but certain privileges should not be abused as this guy is becoming knowing to be showing some ego in foolish style.Well,Referendum is not option here to decide which side the Igbo ethnic want .Like it or leave it Nigeria is indivisible and does not matter what manner of law used in affirming this amalgamation but it's decreed.

Treasonable felony is a crime with the most punishable offense in law,it is same as coup plot in milliatary martial law,so for this guy be handcuffed to the court room is justifiable ,since his crime is weighty and it's capable of destabilizing a nation and causing social and security unrest .Infact ,his crime should be punished by execution or life imprisonment .

When sentiment comes in to play Reasoning takes flight. Why is it that learned people in here like insulting? If you see your man pressing down, give him a lift and move on.

Whaledog, can u please define the word Treason? did he carried arms against the Nigeria government? in what way has he committed treason and felony? I guess by mare spoken words, right? then tell me, the current president of Nigeria did not commit treason when he says he will make Nigeria Ungovernable should he loose an election, both dogs and baboons will bath in blood, an attack on north east terrorist is an attack on muslims and many more others. the United Nations charter give indigenous people living together before colonization the right to agitate for freedom and should not be taking as an act of treason. So my brother, do not comment on issues you Know nothing about, OK?
