IPOB, ESN should defend themselves if attacked – Amaechi
“Nnamdi Kanu has not committed any offence and if anybody thinks that he has committed any offence, let him be taken to court and be given a fair trial. Nobody, I say it again, nobody should beat or maltreat him, otherwise Ndigbo will react.
“This is the time Ndigbo should react to what the Federal Government is doing to him. What is the Federal Government doing to the people in the North who are killing people and sacking them from their communities and all over Nigeria?,” Vanguard quoted him as saying.
Kanu was arrested on Sunday and repatriated to Nigeria to continue the criminal trial against him.
He was brought before Justice Binta Nyako-led Federal High Court yesterday for his trial.
