FG Amends Charges Against Nnamdi Kanu As Court Adjourns Trial To October

nnamdi kanu

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu’s trial before Binta Nyako was expected to commence on Tuesday, July 11.

However, counsel to Kanu, Ifeanyi Ejiofor said, the trial has been adjourned at the instance of the court. Ejiofor also said a new trial date has been fixed for Tuesday, October 17.

ORIENTAL TIMES gathered that the federal government has amended its charges against the IPOB leader and three other accused persons – Benjamin Madubugu, David Nwawuisi and Chidiebere Onwudiwe.

The fresh charge reportedly has a new defendant – Bright Chimezie – a personal assistant to Kanu joined in the matter.

Chimezie on the fresh charge has been accused of facilitating the importation of equipment used for the set up of the Radio Biafra.

The Department of State Services alleged that Chimezie helped in importing the Radio transmitter into Nigeria. He was also accused of moving the transmitters to Ihiala in Anambra state.

It was gathered that the trial of the IPOB leader could have been affected by the annual vacation for judges which commenced on Monday, July 10 and is expected to end on September 26.

    ON NNAMDI KANU……..
    A man who controlls millions of followers allover the world is not a fool…
    A man ,who speaks and millions of people obey him ,is not a fool….
    A man,whose followers ,died for ,attended all his court proceedings …is not a fool.
    Thousands of people daily visits his father’s compound like people on pilgrimage…I don’t think he is a fool..
    A man,who is more popular than any political leader in Nigeria,past or present….is not a fool..
    Even his opponents and enemies love him and admires him secretly….Is he a fool?
    On a political campaign,crowds are rented and paid, according to local governments…in his case ,crowds volunteer to follow him daily,even under hunger and heat,they never complained.
    He walks around freely, without security agents and sirens , People branded him all sorts of evil names ,he still remained immovable.
    He is far more respected than even ” Religious Leaders”without any advertisment,his presence anywhere,creates tensions.People address him as “Saviour”Theologically,I may not agree with that,but will you shut their mouths?He never called himself that.
    People of all Religious denominations follow him,should I kill them?No!,he is not a fool.
    No governor or president can earn such respect from people.Call his followers gullible,no problem,how many people has ever followed or listened to you?
    He is far more recognized and respected than any figure in Igbo land.I may not comfortable with the type of words he uses,but I believe ,this guy is not a person to be toyed with.
    I have a dream,that one day,Igbos ,will buy large hectares of land,build a Secretariat,palace,guest houses and enthrone him ,the king of all Igbos.
    Who am I to judge anyone ?Only God who sees in secret knows it all.God can use anyone!
    NNAMDI KANU,I don’t know you,I have never met you,but this is my candid opinion about you.If you think ,it’s easy to convince people,go to the market ,present your products,if you finish it in one week,you will understand,what am talking about.
    #NNAMDI KANU IS NOT A FOOL#
    This is the first time,I am openly saying anything about him.I am an adult,with years of experience in God’s vineyard,I know exactly what am talking about and am responsible for what I say.You may not like my opinion,but the sad fact is that I have spoken.

    The whole court process is an exercise by Foolani Islamic Govt of Nigeria to hide from the reality that Nigeria was an EXPIRED artificial country. BIAFRA no longer wish to be part of EXPIRED British Nigeria. Call for plebiscite for BIAFRA Exit.

    Does niGERia govt have any sustainable charges against Nnamdi Kanu and his co-defendants? No single charge of course. They only thought they’re going to sail free the way they used to; as they frequently harass, intimidate, assault, and violently denying individuals of their supposedly inviolable rights with every sense of impunity. This time around the niGERian government met a violently stormy condition as they try coasting home as usual. Now, no hope of making it up-land

    Madness is when Nigerians did not understand that Nigeria is a zoo, where they have been caged like an Animal. Biafrans must break away from this enslaved cage because we can not remain slave forever and we now know who we are…. We are the children of CHUKWU OKIKE ABIAMA. If u vex go hug transformer

    Nnamdi kanu has never committed any crime against the Nigerian state….
    The right to self determination is a law which every human is entitiled to…the law is signed by the United Nations(UN),African Union(AU).And Nigeria as a member of these treaties is a signatory to this law….
    Nnamdi kanu only wants his right and he loves his people and he is greatly winning…
    #God bless Nnamdi kanu
    #God bless Biafrans
    #God Bless Biafra….
