The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that spending an extra year in detention will not kill him.

The pro-Biafra agitator disclosed this on Tuesday while speaking to newsmen upon the resumption of his trial in the Federal High Court in Abuja.

He accused the government of cherry picking what was contained in the Supreme Court Judgement.

He expressed dismay that the court has refused to abide by the determination of the Supreme Court on his request for bail.

Kanu argued that it is impossible for a trial to take place when key sections of the Nigerian Constitution have been allegedly violated by the Court.

“I am surprised that a high court refused to abide by the determination of the Supreme judgment. The cherrying picking of what was contained in the judgment is what I am against. It should be implemented holistically. I am not against any trial after all I am innocent. They have nothing against me, but there can not be any trial when the key section of the Constitution and a key section of the Supreme Court judgment have been violated by a court of law.

“This is my Fourth year in solemn confinement in detention. The fifth year won’t kill me” he said.
