Why Nnamdi Kanu’s trial must not be botched – Ex-US Ambassador Tells Buhari

Former US Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, has reacted to the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Campbell sent a warning to Nigeria’s leadership regarding Kanu’s trial.

He issued the warning in a tweet on his official Twitter handle.

According to Campbell: “Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was apprehended abroad on June 27 and has been returned to Nigeria for trial. If the government botches Kanu’s trial, it risks further inflaming separatism.”
