The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has declared that the ongoing persecution of the Igbo people in Nigeria will end with him.

Kanu expressed his determination to stop the mistreatment and marginalization of the Igbo community, emphasizing that this is the driving force behind his push for their freedom.

Speaking at the Federal High Court in Abuja during the latest hearing of his trial on Tuesday, Kanu reaffirmed his commitment to the Igbo cause.

He stated that the long-standing persecution faced by the Igbo people, both within Nigeria and on a broader scale, must come to an end, and that he is taking on the responsibility to ensure it does.

“This persecution of the Igbo people in Nigeria, this globally orchestrated oppression, stops with me,” Kanu firmly declared.

“It will no longer continue. I am fighting for the freedom of my people, plain and simple.”

During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Justice Binta Nyako, the judge presiding over Kanu’s trial, had indicated her intention to withdraw from the case.

This decision comes in response to Kanu’s declaration that he has lost confidence in the court and its ability to deliver a fair judgment.

He also requested that the trial judge step down from the case.

Kanu’s trial has been the subject of significant attention, given his role as the leader of IPOB and his vocal stance on self-determination for the Igbo people.

The situation remains tense as both Kanu’s supporters and the wider Nigerian public await the next developments in the trial.
