The Way Nnamdi Kanu was Abusing Everybody, Including Judges, DSS, NPF, Frightened Me- Joe Igbokwe

Nnewi born public commentator, and APC Chieftain, Joe Igbokwe described the behaviour of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu during his court appearances as highly unruly, noting that what he witnessed throughout the trial was unprecedented.

Igbokwe, a long-time critic of the separatist movement, made the remarks in response to the conclusion of Kanu’s terrorism-related trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja. He explained that his views were shaped by years of observing the proceedings.

He stated that Kanu’s conduct both in the courtroom and while in the custody of security agencies raised serious concerns for those closely following the case, as it appeared inconsistent with the gravity of the charges he faced.

The commentator further claimed that some of his personal properties in Anambra State were destroyed by individuals he believes acted in support of Kanu, a loss that left a lasting impact and reinforced his determination to speak out against the activities of IPOB.

Reflecting on the proceedings, Igbokwe noted that the events over the years highlighted the complexity and tension surrounding the matter. He observed that security agencies faced repeated challenges in managing Kanu’s behaviour and maintaining order during his detention, creating an atmosphere of concern for many observers.

He also expressed worry about the strain placed on institutions tasked with upholding law and order, pointing out that frequent confrontations and tense exchanges in the courtroom exposed deeper societal divisions linked to the issue.

Igbokwe stressed that the trial underscored the importance of respect within judicial processes, regardless of the charges involved. With the case now concluded, attention has shifted to its wider implications for the region and ongoing debates surrounding separatist movements.
