Kanu: South East Reps beg Tinubu to discontinue trial

Some members of the House of Representatives from the South East led by Ikenga Ugochinyere, have called on President Bola Tinubu to invoke the relevant sections of the Constitution to discontinue the trial of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The lawmakers noted that the dismissal of Kanu’s bail application was another major setback for the healing process and return of peace in the South-East.
It will be recalled that Justice Binta Nyako had on Tuesday rejected Kanu’s bail request, and granted an accelerated hearing on the matter.

Speaking on behalf of other South East lawmakers who were in court, Ugochinyere stated that granting Kanu bail would have provided an opportunity to open doors for discussion to bring about peace in the South East.
