Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Tuesday, accused the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, of smartly collecting #500m security fund each time Nnamdi Kanu is arraigned in court, stating that it is one of the reasons he enjoys Kanu being arraigned in court.
Reacting through its spokesman, Emma Powerful, to Kanu’s arraignment on the 14th of November 2022, over new amended charges, IPOB described it as nothing but a smart way for Malami to write off and collect #500m.
According to Emma Powerful, “It is nothing but a smart way for Malami to write off and collect the hundred million Naira (500m) from the National treasury, being the sum he usually claims, he spends on security any time our leader is coming to Court.
“We told the world that the purported new charges and re-arraignment of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, that took place on 14th November 2022, before the Hon Justice Binta Nyako, is a fraud designed to fleece the staggering sum of five hundred million naira from the Federation of Nigeria’s account because it has been established that no court in Nigeria can try our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on anymore charges.
“This is a fact founded in extant law as clearly prohibited by court of Appeal in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu vs. the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN).
“Today was a joke both legally and otherwise. The only thing that could have motivated the sham arraignment on non existent charges is the opportunity to deplete the already depleted funds in their National coffers,” he stated.
He urged the public to ask Malami what he achieved with the stunt over fake new charges and more importantly to explain to the people of the world how he disbursed half a billion naira he collected on the account of providing security around Binta Nyako’s court?
“Malami must account for the money he collects from the National purse. Malami,:stop using the name of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, to committ embezzlement of Nigeria’s funds,” he warned
