Nnamdi Kanu vows: ‘I will end South-East insecurity in two minutes if released,’ sparks debate amidst legal proceedings
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has made a bold assertion, declaring that he could bring an end to insecurity in the South East of Nigeria within a mere two minutes if he were released by the Nigerian authorities.
Kanu, who is currently facing charges of treasonable felony and other related offences, issued this statement during a court appearance.
The assertion comes amidst heightened tensions and security concerns in the region, marked by incidents of violence and clashes between security forces and secessionist groups.
Kanu said, “I suspect that some people in government are making money out of insecurity in the South East; they know that once Nnamdi Kanu is outside, in two minutes, this nonsense will stop.
“Who’s the idiot that can alter my orders in the South East? Nobody can. I Nnamdi Kanu, let me come out of this nonsense, and in two minutes, there will be peace in the South East.”
Recall that Justice Binta Nyako had rejected Kanu’s application for bail.
The judge, however, called for a faster hearing of the case involving Kanu, who has been in detention over charges bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony.
The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, since his arrest in June 2021.
