Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), vowed to end persecution of the Igbo people in Nigeria.
Kanu, detained since July 2021, spoke out after his court appearance in Abuja, citing marginalization as the reason for his Biafra restoration agitation.
Justice Binta Nyako recused herself from Kanu’s trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja. This followed Kanu’s request, alleging bias and disobedience to Supreme Court orders.
In court, Kanu instructed his counsel, Alloy Ejimakor, to sit, referencing the Supreme Court judgment that raised concerns about the judge’s impartiality.
After the session, Kanu emphasized, “The orchestrated persecution of Igbo people stops with me.”
He explained his fight for freedom stems from this persecution, stating, “When it comes to Igbo people, the rules change, yet we’re called one Nigeria.
