The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday revealed why he cannot be tried in any court in Nigeria.
The IPOB leader also noted that any court that tried to try him would be committing terrorism. Kanu spoke yesterday after the Federal High Court, Abuja, dismissed his request for bail or to be moved from the Department of State Services custody to a prison or house arrest.
He said: “Terrorism Prohibition and Prevention Act said 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 3F of the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act, that is what it says. “Any court continuing to try me is committing an act of terrorism.”
Speaking further, Kanu said Section 2, Subsection 3F of the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act, 2022 prevents any court of law in the country from trying him.
Recall that the Act reads, “In this Act, “act of terrorism” means an act wilfully performed with the intention of furthering an ideology, whether political, religious, racial, or ethnic, and which; may seriously harm or damage a country or an international organisation.”
