JUST-IN: Nnamdi Kanu Wants To Talk About His Trial With The Federal Government


As he continues to stand trial under Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act, Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) proscription, has stated that he intends to engage in talks with the federal government.

Since his arrest in Kenya in June 2021, Kanu has been detained and is being prosecuted by the Federal Government on terrorism-related accusations.


During the proceedings on Wednesday, Alloy Ejimakor, the lead attorney for Kanu, made this argument in accordance with Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act, which grants the court the authority to facilitate amicable solutions and encourage reconciliation among parties.



He emphasized that Kanu's defense team had submitted two applications, one of which contested the court's jurisdiction.


Ejimakor declared, "We will move for the implementation of Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act if these applications are denied."


Adegboyega Awomolo, Counsel to the Federal Government, responded to Kanu's proposal by making it clear that he was not authorized to negotiate on the government's behalf.

Awomolo suggested that Kanu seek these talks with the Attorney General of the Federation instead.



Nonetheless, Justice Binta Nyako emphasized that the court serves as a venue for case hearings, saying, "The court is not a solicitor."



Kanu spoke on the current violence in the South-East during the court session, angrily rejecting any role in the deaths of troops in Abia State.


He expressed regret over the incident and reaffirmed IPOB's commitment to nonviolence sadness over the lives lost. Kanu argued, "We are fighting for freedom; how can we desire violence? People's freedom is what we seek.


He went on to denounce all types of murder and emphasized how important it is for Africa to make a strong international presence. Kanu declared, "Slavery in Arabia, Europe, and now America has caused us much suffering."
