It’s A Lie, Nnamdi Kanu Never Apologized To Buhari And Others – Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer

Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer Vincent Obetta, has called the viral news published by Most online media that Nnamdi Kanu wrote an apology to Buhari as the worst form of untruth and a calculated attempt to malign his client. 

After a Punch Report  and also a Naijalads Report had gone viral that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra had tendered an apology to Buhari, Jonathan and Igbo elders for his uncouth words and speech, his lawyer has unequivocally dismissed such news as a concocted plan by the government to misinform the populace.

This was contained in a report by TheCable in which it gave account of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer’s submission. It is impossible that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and director of Radio Biafra, tendered an apology to President Muhammadu Buhari, his lawyer, Vincent Obetta is said to have revealed.

According to the report, Obetta while speaking on Wednesday said reports of Kanu’s apology were proof that government was trying to use all instruments at its disposal to “puncture” the Biaffra campaigner’s defence. “It is not true,” he said. “The government is using every instrument to puncture what we are doing.” 

The Department of State Services (DSS) arraigned Kanu in court in October. Shuaibu Usman, presiding over the chief magistrate court, Wuse zone 2, Abuja, had earlier discharged him on all counts of criminal conspiracy and ownership of an unlawful society brought against him by the federal government.

The federal government then filed a fresh five-count charge of treasonable felony against Kanu, after Adeniyi Ademola, a justice of the federal high court, Abuja, ordered the DSS to release him “unconditionally”.

In his ruling, Ademola held that the continued detention of Kanu by the DSS was unlawful, since the accused was yet to be charged on suspicion of terrorism. Speaking before the federal high court the following day, Kanu said he has lost confidence in the court’s abilities to give an order and have the authorities follow it, asking the court to leave him in detention. “I will rather remain in detention than subject myself to a trial that I know amounts to perversion of justice,” he had said.
