Nnamdi Kanu’s discharge by Appeal Court, miscarriage of justice. We are very sad with this judgement – Miyetti Allah

Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has described the discharge of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu by the Appeal court as “a miscarriage of justice”. The group said it is very sad with the judgement

A three-member panel of the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday, struck out all seven charges against Kanu.

While reacting to the judgement, Saleh Alhassan, the National Secretary of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, urged the Nigerian government to approach the Supreme Court. He described Kanu as a terrorist who has organized the killing of innocent women and children adding that he is a threat to national security and releasing him will jeopardise the conduct of the 2023 general elections.

“We are very sad with this judgement, how can a terrorist like Nnamdi Kanu, that have organised the killing of innocent pastoralists, women, children, security personnel, and insurrection against the country to be discharged by the Appeal Court?” Alhassan said.

“I think this is a miscarriage of justice, they shouldn’t make the mistake of releasing Kanu. They should appeal that case to the Supreme Court. Nnamdi Kanu is a threat to national security. Setting him free will jeopardise the conduct of the 2023 elections.

“It’s going to set a very dangerous signal and bad precedence to other criminal gangs to continue with their impunity. We are suspecting a compromise in the judicial process and we believe the AGF will do the needful by appealing that judgement because the best place for Kanu is to be behind the bar.”
