Leadership of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has strongly condemned the verdict of Supreme Court on the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. A release signed by Uchenna Madu, MASSOB leader, described the apex court judgment as an open rape of justice and rule of law.
The statement stated that as Kanu was earlier discharged by the Appeal Court, it was expected that the apex court would uphold the integrity of Nigeria judiciary, by towing the same line, but that it “woefully and sadly failed to redeem the battered image of the Nigeria judiciary, which was messed up during the presidential election cases.”
“The people of Biafra and Nigeria have deepened their lost hope in Nigeria judiciary. Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped in Kenya and extradited illegally by Nigeria state. “The latest judicial prosecution of Ndigbo in Nigeria will never soften or demoralise our unshakable and indomitable spirits for Biafra actualisation and restoration..”
He urged Ndigbo to remain calm as developments keep on unfolding.
