The legal team of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), yesterday, has called on President Bola Tinubu to order the discontinuation of terrorism charges against the Biafran agitator.
Kanu’s lawyer, Maxwell Opara said Tinubu should discontinue Kanu’s trial so that he can continue with his Biafra agitation.
Opara disclosed this while addressing journalists at the Abuja Federal High Court on Wednesday.
According to Opara: “Now to the President, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, please, as a matter of urgency, direct the Attorney General to discontinue this one with charges.
“This charge is embarrassing Nigeria before the world, and the more they keep applying for adjournment, I know that they must have advised you, telling you that they don’t have a case.
“So in order to protect the integrity of Nigeria, please allow the judges to discontinue this particular charge.
“And so that Kanu can continue with this agitation, address all those issues that gave rise to the agitation, it will be able to come down, anything short of that, Nnamdi Kanu is expected to continue with the agitation.”
Opara warned Tinubu that those around his administration giving him ill-advice are making his government unpopular.
He said the Attorney General of the Federation will never tell Tinubu the truth.
“And all those people that are surrounding you, praising you, they are deceiving you, they are making your government unpopular.
“We are the people that are helping your government to tell you the truth. The Attorney General will not tell you the truth, of course. We are the people that will tell you the truth,” he said.
