I will end insecurity in South East in two minutes if I’m released—Nnamdi Kanu vows

Embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed that he will end the insecurity in the South East in two minutes, if released from detention.

Kanu said nobody in the South East can counter his orders concerning the security situation in the region.

The iBiafra agitator spoke while addressing journalists within the courtroom of the Abuja Federal High Court on Tuesday.

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.
