The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a stern warning on Saturday that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, will not be sacrificed to protect corrupt politicians.
The group cautioned Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court against sentencing Kanu to prison, and also demanded that she recuse herself from the case due to alleged compromise.
In a statement released by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, the group urged Western nations and human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Inter-Society, to intervene and pressure the Nigerian Government, President Bola Tinubu, and Justice Nyako to release Kanu. This, IPOB believes, would help salvage the country’s judicial system.
