Lawyers to detained leader of the Independent
People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu say he is
open to negotiations with the federal government.
People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu say he is
open to negotiations with the federal government.
The lawyers who addressed a press briefing in
Abuja on Friday said such negotiations can only
take place after he is released from incarceration.
According to them, it is impossible for just one
individual to commit treasonable felony as Mr. Kanu
is accused by the federal government.
The lawyers made it clear that he is not part of the
bargaining chip of neither the Niger Delta Avengers
(NDA) nor the Movement for the Emancipation of
the Niger Delta (MEND), who have both said he
should be released as part of their own negotiations
with the federal government.
The IPOB leader and two others were accused of
treason and association with an unlawful society.
At the last hearing, the lead prosecution counsel
was absent in court, and the case was adjourned to
September 26 -29, 2016.
