How Nnamdi Kanu Was Dragged Into The Court Blindfolded And In Chains (Video)

New video has emerged of the self-acclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu being dragged into the court in chains and with his face covered.

The video comes after the Nigerian government has said it will not disclose where Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was rearrested.

The federal high court in Abuja has however  granted a request by the Department of State Services (DSS) to remand Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), till July 26.

Court Grants DSS Order To Remand Nnamdi Kanu Till July 26The court granted the order on Tuesday morning when Kanu was re-arraigned on charges bothering on alleged treason. Binta Nyako, the presiding judge, said he is to be remanded in DSS custody pending the determination of his trial. Kanu appeared in court without his lawyer or any member of his defense team.

In the video below, Nnamdi Kanu is purpotedly taken to court with a hood draped over his head so nobody could see him. How is it that we are in a democracy but a defendant can be arraigned in court without him being allowed to even see where he is?

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said that Nigeria security outfits have been on his trail for two years before he was rearrested.

“There have been speculations on how this re-arrest was pulled off and in which country the hitherto fugitive leader of the proscribed IPOB was nabbed. What we can tell you, once again, is that the re-arrest was made possible by the diligent efforts of our security and intelligence agencies, in collaboration with countries with which we have obligations. We continue to respect and honour the obligations,” Mohammed said on Thursday.
