Nnamdi Kanu Vows to End Igbo Persecution in Nigeria
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.
His ongoing detention and legal battle have sparked widespread debate and controversy, further highlighting the deep divisions surrounding the issue of Igbo rights and autonomy in Nigeria.
The situation remains tense as both Kanu’s supporters and the wider Nigerian public await the next developments in the trial.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
