Inside Nigeria
JUST IN: Senator Abaribe Speaks On Nnamdi Kanu’s Whereabouts
The senator representing Abia South Senatorial District, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has denied the claim by the Federal Government that the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is in his custody.
The Federal Government had earlier replied to Abaribe’s application seeking to withdraw as one of the sureties for Kanu, describing the application as too late.
But Abaribe in a reaction to a question on whether Kanu was actually in his custody, said he doesn’t know his whereabouts.
The Federal Government, however, stated in its counter-affidavit that Abaribe was aware that Kanu “has long violated the bail conditions handed down by this honourable court” on April 24, 2017 before September 11 when he claimed to have lost contact with the defendant.
The counter-affidavit read in part, “That it was at this point at violating the conditions at the bail that the senator surety ought to surrender the 1st defendant and or bring up this application; That this application is belated and ill-timed;
“The applicant failed to apply to the court timeously, stating on oath that the defendant bound by recognizance to appear before this court had violated the bail condition given by this court.”
The prosecuting counsel, Mr. Shuaibu Labaran, argued in the written address that Abaribe “failed woefully” by allegedly aiding and abetting Kanu to flout his bail conditions.
Abaribe, however, denied knowing Kanu’s whereabouts.
“I don’t know where he is. But that is a question that will be resolved by the suit we have instituted,” he told Punch.

The buhari government sees Abaribe and the so called Igbo leaders as irrelevant and chaffs only existing for nothing. It is very very clear that if Nnamdi KANU was in his house on the day buhari ordered his military to go and kill him, for sure they have killed him. That was why the killed every living thing + plus dog they saw in Nnamdi KANU’s premises that day, so that no one would be able to testify that truly they killed Nnamdi KANU. If they did not kill him and do not know his where about, why has the Buhari government not declared Nnamdi KANU wanted for failing to appear for his court case? All these accusations by the government against Abaribe is to distract people from asking the government where is Nnamdi KANU. Look we are not fools the military sent by Buhari killed Nnamdi KANU and kept it on a top secret agenda
knowing fully well that if it is made open to the public there must surely be crisis and the biafran agitation will for sure gain international support. The 3 sureties must surmon courage and over come fear of intimidation and stand their feet to demand from Buhari and his military to produce Nnamdi KANU where he/his body is. Igbo governors, Ohaneze, business men students should stand up now for this is just the beginning of the extermination of the Igbo race. If Buhari is allowed to go free..hmm sorry for the Igbos for more worse than what happened now is yet to come.
