Human rights attorney Maxwell Opara has praised the Southeast for clearing Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), of charges of terrorism and criminality.
Nnamdi Kanu was found guilty on all seven of the terrorism charges brought against him, and Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja reportedly sentenced him to life in prison on Thursday.
Opara, however, emphasized that Kanu is not a terrorist as is being portrayed in an appearance on Friday’s Morning Show on Arise Television.
He claims that Nnamdi Kanu has endured the greatest injustice in history.
“The people in the Southeast are aware that Nnamdi Kanu is neither a criminal nor a terrorist,” he declared. They deserve my praise for it.
“In order for the Court of Appeal to overturn this ruling, I would like to urge all well-meaning Nigerians to band together and get involved.
“I must inform you that, as of yesterday, when the verdict was rendered, one of the congressmen in America, where our delegates were meeting with the US Congress, brought up this matter and emphasized the type of injustice Nnamdi Kanu has endured at the hands of Nigeria as if he were a Nigerian.
Thus, these people occasionally learn more than you do during our conversations. Of all the people in the planet, Nnamdi Kanu has endured the most injustice.
“The Federal Government, which is prosecuting him, went to his home without cause and killed 38 people while he was having fun.”
