Nnamdi Kanu Slams Nigerian Journalists for Failing to Report Facts

Abuja, Nigeria

In a dramatic scene at the Abuja Federal High Court today, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), took aim at Nigerian journalists, accusing them of failing to report the truth surrounding his ongoing legal battle with the federal government. Kanu criticized the media for not covering the crucial fact that the Supreme Court of Nigeria has already discharged and acquitted him, yet the federal government has refused to obey the court’s ruling.

Standing firm on his rights, Kanu expressed his disappointment in the role the press has played in his struggle. "The Nigerian media has been complicit in the federal government’s defiance of justice. The highest court in the land has discharged me, but instead of reporting this, journalists have chosen to remain silent or peddle half-truths. It is your responsibility to report facts, not to serve the agenda of the government," Kanu charged while speaking to journalists in the courtroom.

The case has once again brought the ongoing tension between the Nigerian government and Kanu's supporters to the forefront, with IPOB members expressing frustration over the prolonged legal wrangling. Kanu’s legal team continues to argue that his continued detention violates both Nigerian law and international human rights standards.

As the case drags on, calls for the media to step up and fulfill their journalistic duties grow louder, with IPOB supporters urging for more accurate and unbiased reporting. Kanu remains a prominent figure in the fight for the self-determination of the Biafran people, and the failure of the media to highlight the federal government’s disobedience to the Supreme Court’s judgment has only fueled tensions.
