JUST IN: Nnamdi Kanu Speaks On Proscription Of Shiites’ Group

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, says the banning of the Islamic Movement Organisation (IMN) better known as Shiites “cannot hold water.”

Recall that the Federal Government obtained a court order to proscribe the Shiites as a terrorist group, just like it did with Nnamdi Kanu’s led IPOB.

The ex parte application marked FHC/ABJ/CS/876/2019 was filed in the name of the “Attorney-General of the Federation” before the court on Thursday, July 25.

ORIENTAL TIMES understands that the court restrained “any person or group of persons” from participating in any form of activities involving or concerning the IMN “under any name or platform” in Nigeria.

Reacting to the development in an ongoing live broadcast on Radio Biafra, Kanu called for the immediate release of Shiites leader, Ibrahim El-zakzaky.

Kanu stressed that the IPOB is supporting Shiites because “Biafrans have a soul” and cannot support injustice.

His words:

“We are Biafrans, we have a soul. We reject injustice. You cannot regard yourself as a human being if you support injustice.

“El-Zakzaky must be released. The tagging of the Shi’a group as a terrorist cannot hold water.

“What is the difference between the judgment that the other high court gave about El-zakzaky’s freedom and the one banning Shiites?

“The Shi’a group have done nothing wrong. There must be freedom in Africa. I mean total freedom. You cannot determine who you give freedom of association to.

“You must obey court orders even if you don’t like it. The constitution of the zoo allows freedom of religion.

“What did El-zakzaky do? What did the Shiites group do to be tagged a terrorist group?

“Shi’a or Shiites group is not a terrorist group and it can never be,” the apparently furious IPOB leader added.
