Nnamdi Kanu: CSO describes Supreme Court judgment as freedom for Nigerians, South East residents

A Civil Society Organization, the Save Nigeria Movement (SNM), has reacted to the Supreme Court judgment which affirmed the constitutionality of the ongoing trial of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The CSO, in a statement signed by its convener, Rev Solomon Semaka, described the judgement as not only historic but a further affirmation that the rule of law will always prevail over blackmail and sensationalism.

“As patriots, it is important to note that prior to this judgement, the deployment of smear campaign, blackmail, slander and propaganda by IPOB and her sympathizers as a tool against the Federal government since the trial of their leader began has been a major focus of the terrorist movement (IPOB)

“By this landmark judgement, Nigerians are as excited and committed at the prospects of a full trial of Nnamdi Kanu as confirmed by the nation’s highest court.

“The people of the SouthEast region are generally excited by the judgment of the Supreme court which signifies the sincerity of the Nigerian state in its efforts to seek justice for Nigerians in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu since the beginning of the trial.”

The group also noted that instead of IPOB and critical stakeholders to reign in on Nnamdi Kanu to denounce violence in its acclaimed struggle, they are hell bent on blackmailing the federal government.
