“Stop Talking When I’m Talking” – Nnamdi Kanu Lashes Out in Court

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, erupted in frustration during his court appearance at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, criticizing both Nigerian prosecutors and the judiciary.

In a video shared by TVC News, Kanu, who remains in detention, accused the legal system of ignorance, stating that the poor understanding of the law by courts and prosecutors is fueling injustice in Nigeria.

He referenced a federal gazetted law, arguing that the judiciary often fails to follow its own legal framework.

“This is a federal gazetted law of Nigeria that says here that the chief judge of Nigeria cannot tell Binta Nyako what to do. It is here, it’s your law; just obey it,” he asserted.

Kanu, known for his Biafra agitation, reaffirmed his stance despite his legal battles.

“That is why I do what I do. I agitate for Biafra, I agitate for Biafra. My right to agitate—they turned it from treasonable felony now to terrorism. Stop talking when I’m talking!” he declared angrily in court.

"I am an educated man… Poor knowledge of the law is killing Nigeria."
