The
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has accused
President Muhammadu Buhari of lying, saying the president cannot intimidate
him.
At a stormy court
session on Tuesday, Mr. Kanu said the president can intimidate court judges,
but not him.
“The president can
intimidate the judges, but he cannot do that to me. Tell him he has lied,” said
Mr. Kanu.
A Federal High Court in
Abuja ruled on Tuesday on an application seeking the protection of witnesses in
the ongoing trial of Mr. Kanu, and three others, David Nwawuisi, Benjamin
Madubugwu and Chidiebere Onwudiwe, who are facing trial for alleged treasonable
felony.
They were arraigned
before Justice Binta Nyako after the first defendant said he had no confidence
in the former judge, John Tsoho.
The court had adjourned
the application for protection of witnesses to December 13.
Delivering the ruling,
Mrs. Binta said the court would allow the witnesses some degree of protection.
“The counsels and the
defendants will see the witnesses. The witnesses will have special entrances to
and outside the court,” the judge said.
