If Federal Government produces Nnamdi Kanu alive, he won’t jump bail – Lawyer
Counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said Nnamdi Kanu would never
jump bail if he is still alive.
Ejiofor said this while
disclosing that Kanu had not been seen since September 14 when men of the
Nigerian Army allegedly invaded the IPOB leader’s residence in Umuahia, the
Abia State capital.
Speaking with Vanguard, Ejiofor maintained that it is
now the responsibility of the federal government to produce Kanu in court on
his next adjourned date.
According to Ejiofor: “The fact is that they are in a
position to produce him at the next adjourned date. It is public knowledge that
my client had before his house was invaded, always made himself available for
trial.
“He never evaded trial as he made it known that he was
ready. If he wanted to jump bail, he would have done so immediately he was
released from prison. But he did not run.
“The last time I spoke with my client was the day his
house was invaded by soldiers. He called me and complained that he was being
attacked by soldiers who he said were shooting sporadically. Since then, I have
not heard from my client again.
“If he is alive, they should tell the court on that
day. They will not only explain to the trial court, but will also produce the
soldiers that went to his home to attack him.”
