Anybody telling you otherwise is your enemy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet it be clear that my public crusade against the continued detention and trial of Kanu is driven by the standing judicial pronouncements and legal principles against his rendition, detention and trial. A lot of folks are probably unaware that there is a subsisting Federal High Court judgment that declared his rendition and detention unconstitutional and two international tribunal pronouncements in the same regard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is also this malicious fallacy by fringe government elements that his continued detention furthers national security. That\u2019s so myopic, because any reasonable and sincere observer will see the opposite when you take stock of the reality that insecurity actually surged in the Southeast following Kanu\u2019s rendition in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be sure, any notion of national security is incomplete without a concomitant regional security in the Southeast. Thus, President Tinubu should be wary of anybody that advises him to persist in this infamous detention and trial of Nnamdi Kanu. It is as illegal as it is also politically risky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
