ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Asari Dokubo, Former Niger Delta militant has reacted to the release of the Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB).
Kanu, the detained leader of IPOB was released from charges of terrorism filed against him by the Abuja court of appeal, few days ago.
Dokubo, while reacting to the piece of news, said: “If Nnamdi Kanu is out what is the big deal, am I not out also, am I not walking and talking freely more than him.”
In a video, Dokubo said: “It’s so funny that in Nigeria anything can happen. Nigeria judiciary can be used, judges can make themselves available to be used to descarte the rule of judiciary. Some people are saying Nnamdi Kanu is out but the truth is he is not out yet, he is still in custody.
“It is so funny, what the Appeal Court did is total unacceptable and it will not stand in the test of time anywhere in the world and it has brought Nigerian judiciary into ridicule.
“Can the appeal court give original jurisdiction of court of first instance. These are primary procedural law anybody with small knowledge of law will know. What the Appeal Court should have done is to refer the case back to the Supreme court.
“Over time, we have been hearing about political solution that Nnamdi Kanu is barging with them to have a political solution, so Judges will make themselves so cheap.
“They say he has been discharged and acquitted, my question is was he discharged of all the charges against him. If Nnamdi Kanu is out what is the big deal, am I not out too, am I not talking and walking freely.”
