The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday said he cannot be re-arrested because he has not flouted the bail conditions guiding his release from prison.
Kanu noted that if anyone was not respecting court pronouncements, it was President Muhammadu Buhari and the Director General of the Department of State Services, Lawal Daura.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Kanu was reacting to questions from newsmen in Enugu over fears of being re-arrested after allegedly flouting bail conditions by granting interview.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that the IPOB leader was in Enugu to receive awards from a number of pan-Igbo groups, including the Igbo Women Assembly, the Eastern Consultative Assembly and the Igbo Students Union.
The embattled leader however responded that the court cannot stop him from speaking noting that he was only responding to questions asked him by journalists.
TheNewsGuru.com recalls that Justice Binta Nyako had given stringent conditions that the embattled leader must abide by before and after leaving the prison premises. She particularly barred him (Kanu) from granting interviews, and being in gatherings of more than 10 persons, when she granted the IPOB leader bail.
According to him, refusing to respond to the questions would be seen as a sign of arrogance on his part.
In his words: “I am replying you. That is what I am doing. I am not giving an interview, I am responding to the question you asked me.
“The judge is a very learned fellow. She cannot stop me from speaking.”
Kanu added that President Muhammadu Buhari and the Department of State Services were the ones that are guilty of flouting court orders.
“Buhari and the DSS have been in multiple breaches of court order after court order. I wish you can go to the DSS and ask Daura, what is his name? Lawal, whatever his name is, the DSS Director General, why DSS does not obey court orders.
“They are the ones flouting the court orders. It’s not me.
“What I am doing is entirely legal. You ask me a question and I respond to you because if I keep quiet you see me as a very arrogant fellow.”
