Breaking News!! Nnamdi Kanu Finally Agrees Dialogue With Buhari’s FG To End Agitation

Detained leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has announced that
he is open to negotiations with the federal
government to end the agitation for secession of
the people of Biafra from Nigeria.
Kanu made this declaration through his lawyers
led by Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Amoebi Nzelu, in a press
briefing in Abuja on Friday.
“Nnamdi Kanu is not averse to political solution in
resolving his present politically orchestrated
ordeal.
“He welcomes genuine political solution to this
case. Nnamdi Kanu has people of proven integrity
and impeccable character that will negotiate on
his behalf, based on his demands when
communication on this effect is established,” one
of the lawyers said.
Meanwhile, the lawyers have debunked the
claims by the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and the
Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta
(MEND), who have both named the self acclaimed
Biafra leader as part of their conditions for
negotiations.
“It is on that note that we wish to inform the
general public that Nnamdi Kanu has no
connection, contact, ties or any kind of
relationship with members of the MEND,” the
lawyers said.
“Mend has no implied, direct or express authority
of Nnamdi Kanu to represent him or IPOB in any
purported negotiation going on between mend
and the federal government.”
Recall that Mr. Kanu and two others, Benjamin
Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, who have been
in detention since October, 2015, are standing
trial on a six-count charge of treasonable felony,
managing unlawful society and concealing goods.
At the last hearing, the lead prosecution counsel
was absent in court, and the case was adjourned
to September 26 – 29, 2016.
