Mike Ozekhome,a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, faults the reported invasion by the military on the residence of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Ozekhome said the government should have waited for the result of the legal actions taken against the IPOB leader and not resort to invading his residence by the military.
“Now assuming that Nnamdi Kanu has breached every single material particular of those bails, what is the answer? The answer is again through the judicial process,” he said.
He went on to say, “the Federal Government has already done the right thing through its lawyers that filed a motion before the same judge, Justice Binta Nyako, to say ‘my lord, Nnamdi Kanu has breached these bail conditions. The Federal Government should have waited for that legal process to accomplish rather than invade the home through the military.”
Ozekhome believes invading Kanu’s residence has complicated the matter, saying Nigerians saw “when they (soldiers) penetrated the house. We saw that was the last time Nigerians saw Nnamdi Kanu in his house. That’s what you call the ‘doctrine of the last scene’. So going by the doctrine of last seen, and the doctrine of ‘res ipsa loquitur’, it means that the last time Nigerians saw Nnamdi Kanu was when he was in his home in Umuahia and the military invaded that home and he has not been seen since then".
