- He said the insecurity in the region has become a money-making venture for some persons, hence the need to keep him incarcerated in order to continue milking the disturbing situation
Embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, says he has the solution to perennial insecurity that is ravaging the south east.
Kanu said he would end the deepening security crisis in the region and make the menace a thing of the past in two minutes if released from detention.
Kanu assured the public that nobody in the South East can override his orders concerning the security situation in the region.
The exasperated Biafra agitator spoke while addressing journalists within the courtroom of the Abuja Federal High Court on Tuesday.
He said the insecurity in the region has become a money-making venture for some persons, hence the need to keep him incarcerated in order to continue milking the disturbing situation.
Kanu said, “I suspect that some people in government are making money out of insecurity in the South East; they know that once Nnamdi Kanu is outside, in two minutes, this nonsense will stop.
“Who’s the idiot that can alter my orders in the South East? Nobody can. I Nnamdi Kanu, let me come out of this nonsense, and in two minutes, there will be peace in the South East.”
Earlier, Justice Binta Nyako had declined Kanu’s application for bail.
The judge, however, ordered an accelerated hearing of the case involving Kanu, who is facing charges bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony.
Kanu, who was brought to the court on Tuesday, has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, since his arrest in June 2021.
Delivering the ruling, Justice Nyako held that the court would only grant an accelerated hearing in the matter and ordered the prosecution to call its first witness.
