High
Court Abuja where the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi
Kanu will be appearing in court; with the Federal High Court set to rule
on bail application filed by the IPOB leader and co-defendants, as well
as an application filed against secret trial of the IPOB leader.
The
coordinator of the adorable children who is also a top official of IPOB
zone 2 Umuebulu 2 Etche, Igweocha(Portharcourt) told Family Writers
that the kids will be presenting a gift to Nnamdi Kanu, and will also
protest against the secret trial of the Biafra leader, even as they have
vowed that they will not leave Abuja until Nnamdi Kanu whom they
addresses as their 'father' is released to them.
"We are taking the
kids to Abuja to do a presentation of gift to our leader and also to
stand in solidarity with our leader Nnamdi Kanu as he appears in court
tomorrow,
"The children of Biafra are telling the Federal Republic of
Nigeria to release their leader and father, Nnamdi Kanu," the
coordinator of the 'Futures of Biafraland', Mazi Izuchukwu Agu stated
while speaking with Family Writers Press.
The leader of Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has been held in detention since
October 14, 2015 when he was arrested by agents of Nigeria secret
service known as Department of State Services,DSS. Several court
injunctions ordering for Kanu's release have been flagrantly disobeyed
by the Nigeria government.
Meanwhile, the judge currently handling
the case, Mrs. Binta Hajiya Nyako had earlier ruled on December 13, 2016
that the trial of the IPOB leader and three other co-defendants will be
classified or done secretly in line with the proposal of the Nigeria
government. The defense counsels to Nnamdi Kanu and co-defendants have
seriously contested the court ruling, arguing that it is totally
unconstitutional and an abuse of the defendants' inalienable right to
fair hearing.
The Justice Binta Nyako presided Federal High Court
will tomorrow rule on whether or not to continue with the secret trial,
as well rule on the bail application filed by Nnamdi Kanu and
co-defendants(Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawusi and Chidiebere
Onwudiwe).
