Anybody, Court Coming To Try Me Is Committing Terrorism – Nnamdi Kanu

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has said that he cannot be tried in any court of law in Nigeria.

Kanu, who cited the country’s constitution and international laws also said any individual or court trying him “is committing an act of terrorism.”

Kanu made this known while addressing journalists at the court premises following the ruling from a Federal High Court in Abuja dismissing his applications for bail and transfer from the Department of State Services (DSS) custody, on Monday.

He further asserted that the Terrorism Prohibition and Prevention Act prohibits his trial in Nigeria.

According to Kanu, the law states that he cannot be tried in any Nigerian court quoting Section 2, Subsection 3(f) of the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act, which he claims labels anyone attempting to try him as a terrorist.

He said: “Terrorism Prohibition and Prevention Act said that I cannot be tried in Nigeria that is the law of Nigeria. I can never be tried in any court of law in Nigeria. That is what the law says.

“Anyone standing in trial or coming to try me is a terrorist. That is what the law says, not me. Section 2, Subsection 3 F of the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act that is what it says.

“Any court continuing to try me is committing an act of terrorism.”
