[NEWS] Why I Jumped Bail, Escaped From Nigeria – Nnamdi Kanu



Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has
revealed why he jumped bail and escaped from Nigeria.
Speaking on Tuesday when he appeared in court on criminal
charges of terrorism and treasonable felony, Kanu said he escaped
from Nigeria after his house was unlawfully invaded by security
men with his life seriously threatened.
The self-acclaimed Biafran leader further alleged that he would
have been killed along with others on the day of the invasion if not
for the wisdom he applied to jump out of the country.
Kanu’s reaction was provoked by the federal government’s
information through its counsel, Shuaib Labaran that Kanu jumped
the bail granted by the court to escape trial by running out of the
country.
Labaran had applied to the court for an order to remand Kanu in the
custody of the Department of State Service (DSS).
The counsel said the request became imperative because lawyers
to Kanu were yet to be abreast of his re-arrest.
Justice Binta Nyako granted the request and ordered that Kanu be
remanded in the custody of DSS till July 26 for the continuation of
his trial.
Although the continuation of trial was originally slated for October
20, 2021, it was brought downward to July 26, 2021, for his
lawyers to appear for his defense.
Kanu appeared to have been given the VIP treatment while being
moved out of court.
He was taken away in handcuffs through a special gate reserved
for Judges and highly placed persons from where he was moved to
the DSS detention centre.
Hordes of photographers and cameramen who had positioned
themselves to take his photographs were disappointed upon
discovery that Kanu had been taken away.
