The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu had said that he cannot be trialed by any court in Nigeria.

Kanu said this after Justice Nyako rejected the argument by defence lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor that the Supreme Court held that the earlier bail granted him ought not to have been revoked.

The judge held that she perused the said judgment of the Supreme Court, but could not locate the claim made by the defence lawyer.

Jolted by the judge’s pronouncement, Kanu began to shout from the dock and protested that he would not stand trial before any court in Nigeria.

According to Kanu, any attempt to put him on trial would amount to a breach of Nigeria’s Constitution and international laws.
