The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has berated the Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, for saying that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, jumped bail in 2017. The separatist group said Kalu was either ignorant or mischievous for saying so. IPOB in a statement issued on Thursday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said it was troubled by what it described as Kalu’s “ridiculous statement”, alleging that the Nigerian government paid the lawmaker to destroy the secessionist group when its leader, Kanu was in detention between 2015 and 2017.
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, yesterday, reserved judgment in the appeal filed by detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, seeking dismissal of remaining seven-count charge filed against him by the Federal Government.
