A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress, Joe Igbokwe, has criticized Nnamdi Kanu, the self‑proclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over his outburst in court. A video circulating online shows Kanu reacting angrily during his ongoing trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja. In the clip, he questions the judge’s understanding of Nigerian law, the constitution, and a previous Supreme Court judgment, accusing the judge of being ignorant of the law and disrespectful of the constitution.
Igbokwe responded on social media, saying Kanu’s behavior in court suggests he is “overrated” and no longer sounds like a normal person. His comments come as Kanu’s trial continues to attract attention. The IPOB leader faces charges related to his separatist activities, and the case has become a focal point of controversy in Nigeria, raising questions about the country’s legal system and the treatment of separatist groups.
Kanu’s outburst is not the first time he has voiced dissatisfaction with the legal process; he has previously accused the government of violating his rights and denying him a fair trial. The case highlights the tensions between the Nigerian government and separatist movements. As the trial proceeds, the court’s ruling will have significant implications for Kanu, the IPOB, and the broader separatist movement in Nigeria, ensuring the case remains a major topic of discussion both domestically and internationally.
