     Biafra: Many People Were Killed When Soldiers Laid Siege On Nnamdi Kanu’s Home 

The Circumstances Surrounding His Absence In Court In 2017.  There was tension in Umuahia Abia State on September 10th 2017 as the Nigerian military laid siege in Afaraukwu Ibeku the home town of the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu when they launched their first attack, shooting sporadically, killing not less than five people and injuring many at the spot, the Soldiers who were on a mission to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his entire family came back barely 72hrs after their first attack on 10th September, on the 14th September 2017 to be precise they returned with ten armoured personnel carriers (APC) and seven Hilux vans filled with military personnel, they drove through the street of the palace of the traditional ruler of Afaraukwu Ibeku who happens to be the father of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, moved towards their family compound and started shooting directly at visitors and sympathizers who were in the compound of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and also aiming directly to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's bedroom windows as he was busy sleeping, they killed not less than twenty-eight people, while scores were left with bullet wounds. 

In the same way, the Nigerian military in collaboration with other security agencies invaded the peaceful #Endsars protest in lekki tollgate Lagos and Obigbo in River State shooting sporadically at peaceful protesters, killing many innocent young men and women who were exercising their Democratic right to better their lives, the Nigerian army would later deny ever coming to the protest ground let alone shooting at them, if not for the independent panel of inquiry that was set up by the Lagos state government that indicted the Nigerian army and the live Instagram video streaming of a DJ which confirmed that they killed not less than fifty innocent protesters that were the same murderous methods they used in invading Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's home.

Properties worth millions of naira were destroyed as they made away with valuable items, the invasion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's home by the Nigerian military was what led to the death of his parents, they died as a result of the trauma of the carnage and abomination committed by the Nigerian military in their palace as they could not overcome the shock due to old age. 

If the Nigerian military were not assigned to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian government because they can't prove any case against him in court why then should they invade the home of an unarmed man with armoured tanks? Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who was to appear before the federal high court in Abuja by October 2017 was getting ready for his court hearing before the Nigerian military attempted to eliminate him on the 14th of September 2017. 

The invasion of his compound by the Nigerian military caused his absence in court during his trial in 2017, he had to run for his dear life to continue his trial in court, it is the living that stands trails in the court. Contrary to false claims and reports which we want to correct through this article that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not jump bail, his fundamental human rights to life, privacy, dignity and liberty were violated by the Nigerian government through their military when they invaded his home on September 14th 2017, in an attempt to eliminate him, for as long as his rights were violated there's no justification to the claims that he jumped bail, he was almost assassinated by those who were supposed to protect him and he had no other option than to run for his dear life. 

Debunking the rice and beans reportage by the compromised Nigerian gutter journalists that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu jumped bail, it is on record that on January 19th 2022, a federal high court sitting in Umuahia Abia state led by Justice Benson Anya ruled on the case boarding on violation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's fundamental human rights, and the invasion of his family compound by the Nigerian military where he ruled that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never jumped bail but only escaped assassination by the Nigerian military, the judge also ruled that the Nigerian government violated the fundamental human rights of the detained IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the judge further ruled and mandated the federal government to pay a compensation of one billion nairas to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as damages when the military invaded his home in Abia State on September 2017 which they did not appeal. Justice Benson Anya of the federal high court Umuahia is the only judge brave enough to condemn the abomination, barbarity and brutality of the Nigerian military on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's home, where his visitors and sympathiser were gruesomely murdered in cold blood by the invading Nigeria military. 

We hope that justice Binta Nayko of Abuja Federal High Court would do justice by following in his footsteps. The demand to file for a new bail application by Justice Binta Nayko is indeed another big win for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, it's a big opportunity for the IPOB legal team to argue what transpired at Afaraukwu Ibeku the home town of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on September 14th 2017 with the Nigerian government prosecutors in court, and unveil the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from his trial, since Justice Binta Nayko is interested in knowing what happened to the previous bail, she should kindly do justice by first of all listening to what transpired that made Mazi Nnamdi Kanu flee his home and abandoned his trail, all we seek is nothing but justice and equity for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Justice Binta Nayko must do the needful by delivering fair hearing come 26th May 2022. 

Our indefatigable, indomitable, insurmountable supreme leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released unconditionally from the DSS dungeon.
