Nnamdi Kanu Condemns South-East Killings

The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was at the Federal High Court Abuja for his trial on Wednesday.

Kanu, who arrived in court in the presence of his lawyers, also spoke on the killings in the South-East.

He insisted he was all for peace, and had no hand in the murder of the some soldiers in Abia State a few weeks ago.

“I condemn in its entirety all of the killings, because IPOB was founded on a non-violent principle, and we maintain that stand. And some of these soldiers, we were told are also our people, and his family is in mourning right now.

“So I condemn all the killings. I don’t want that. We are fighting for freedom, so, how can we want violence? We want people to be free. We have suffered a lot in Africa, from slavery in Arabia, Europe and now slavery in America. This is when to focus on this continent, and be what God wants us to be, so that they will know that we know what we are doing,’’ he told journalists in court.
