Nnamdi Kanu used terror and intimidation to defend former president Jonathan, the ousted PDP ruling party
Below is a list of some of the charges of terrorism against the arrested Radio Biafra director, Nnamdi Kanu (not real name). He was successfully arrested at the Golden Tulip Essential Hotel, Ikeja, Nigeria, this Saturday.
As follow the list of charges, the Nigeria’s 2011 anti-terrorism act as amended gives overreaching powers above the judiciary for Nigeria’s security officers to arrest and indefinitely detain terrorist violators. Charges punishable by death.
1. In a video of November 2013 the director of Radio Biafra, and Arinze O. went around Ezu River, the scene of mass murders and dumping of bodies in Anambra and harassed and intimidated innocent northern extract peasants under the bridge. He was never arrested for the seditious acts in contravention of Nigeria’s anti-terror laws and constitutional rights of freedom of assembly.
2. In November of 2013, ‘Nnamdi Kanu,’ the director of Radio Biafra on his radio station threatened violent terror against the UK or any other country that interferes with his quest for the secession of Biafra.
3. In his 9th January, 2014 broadcast, Kanu threatened death to any Igbo who converted to Islam. He said,
“Every Eze that is a Muslim must be hounded out. They must leave our land. If they do not leave our land, they will be killed. They must leave our land and go to the North to stay.”
“Every Eze that is a Muslim must be hounded out. They must leave our land. If they do not leave our land, they will be killed. They must leave our land and go to the North to stay.”
Chief Sylvester O. Dimunah, threatened with death by Nnamdi Kanu
Chief Sylvester O. Dimunah, the vice Chairman of the Council of Village Heads in Imo State, notably had converted to Islam, provoking Kanu’s death threats. Kanu claimed the chief was pleading for his life and had doubled his security due to the open threats and the promotion of terror against the Chief by Nnamdi Kanu. Kanu had given out the Chief’s phone number and asked radio listeners to call and threaten the Eze.
Promoting the PDP then ruling party, Nnamdi Kanu said, “There will be no mercy, no pardon, no forgiveness. All traitors must die and so too their families. This nonsensical disease of Igbo saboteurs springing up all over the place in the name of having a different opinion on Biafra liberation will no longer be tolerated especially those who claim they are Biafrans but are supporting APC or APC candidates.”

4. Support For Murder Of Random Innocent Hausa In East
In the chilling audio recording of September 1st, 2015, a certain Uchechukwu Madueke in London’s Heathrow called-in and told Nnamdi that his brother who “spoke to Nnamdi yesterday” has left India for Nigeria and has promised to kill a random Hausa man. The caller who hails from Enugu says he knows his brother, Michael, that he will kill the Hausa person before he returns to India. Nnamdi Knau supported the promise of terror and said, “we need all strong people to fulfill this mission.”
5. Open Support for Manufacturer Of Deadly Laser Weapons And Call for Murder Of Nigerian Soldiers
In broadcasts of September 3rd, 2015 A Biafra zionist called ‘Nnamdi Kanu’ and told him that he is technically trained and has been researching how to make deadly weapons for the past 20 years. He, a technician and engineering graduate said he can make microwave lasers that can destroy armored tanks. He says he has a host of other deadly friends who are all ready to wage war against Nigeria. Nnamdi Kanu noted the guys number and promised he will utilize his skills. In the same recording as below, several terrorists called in and promised to terrorize Nigeria. Some suggested killing Hausas in the East to provoke chaos across Nigeria. Nnamdi Kanu in the broadcast directed the murder of Nigerian soldiers who he blamed for the alleged murder of protesters at the end of August.

DSS Makes Dangerous Error, Puts Nigeria In Danger By Granting Kanu Bail
Nnamdi Kanu has surprisingly been granted bail, though he is yet to fulfill the conditions set for his bail.
It is recollected that Mohammed Yusuf was likewise granted bail twice, and reportedly bailed out by Middle belt professor Jerry Gana, before going on to become the world’s deadliest terrorist group.

If the story of the release of this man on bail is true, that is a sign that Nigerian Democracy is beginning to mature. I am proud that Nigeria can take the kind of blistering personal attacks that the man makes but still accord him his Rights as a citizen. If we continue like this our country will not only be great, but Loved by our people.
