South East Peoples Assembly (SEPA)accused Nnamdi Kanu of infringing on the bail conditions giving to him by the Justice Ibrahim Auta of the High court.
In a letter to the Chief Judge of the High Court, Justice Ibrahim
Auta, the President of SEPA, Prince Chukwuemeka Okorie wrote the court,
as a matter of urgency, to revoke Kanu’s bail.
He said that Kanu has continued to conduct himself in a manner that
was totally at variance with terms and conditions of his bail.
He listed the infractions to include holding rallies, grant of interviews or be in a crowd of more than 10 people.
“Obviously, the recklessness with which he made media statements and
even organised the ‘Sit at Home and Stay Indoor’ protest to mark the so
called BIAFRA HEROS DAY on Tuesday, 30th May, 2017 is a threat to the
unity, security and peace of Nigeria as a sovereign nation.
“We have no iota of doubt that he is trying to push our dear country
Nigeria into an unnecessary precarious situation for his personal agenda
and those of his paymasters.
“Sir, our decision to write this demand letter to your good office at
this time is to forestall another civil unrest in Nigeria, particularly
around the Igbo speaking region.
“As you well know, the struggle by Kanu to be relevant under the
guise of actualisation of Biafra does not enjoy the support of right
thinking Igbo people both at home and in diaspora.
“That he suddenly addresses himself as the Supreme Leader of Biafra
points to how arrogant and disrespectful he is to legitimately
constituted authority in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The pertinent question on our minds as stakeholders is: Has Kanu
been consistent in providing the court with reports on the progress of
his health and treatment on a monthly basis since he was granted bail?
“We fear that if Kanu is not tamed by Your Lordship as a matter of
urgency, the IPOB may create a situation where it becomes difficult if
not impossible for genuine development to take place in the South East
under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
“History has taught us that the Civil War of 1967-1970 started
gradually and later turned out to be something that caused our people
unimaginable losses.
“We cannot afford to fold our arms this time and allow a stooge
imported from the United Kingdom by stark enemies of Nigeria to maintain
a state of belligerence against the nation and keep the name of Igbo
people in the news for the wrong reasons.” NAN
