The federal government had charged him with treason but Binta Nyako, a judge of the federal high court in Abuja, had granted him bail after 18 months in detention.

Kanu had flouted all the terms of the bail before the military invaded his Abia residence on September 14, 2017.
He fled afterwards and resurfaced in Jerusalem on Friday.
In a broadcast via Radio Biafra, Kanu boasted that the Nigerian court lacks the capacity to try him.
He said the judge who has asked his sureties to produce him should have asked the army why they invaded his residence.
“Nigerian court is a Kangaroo court. I did not jump bail, I left because the court failed to protect me,” he said.
“I shall not be honouring the court. I cannot be tried by a court I do not recognise.”

Meantime, Elliot Ugochukwu Ukoh, founder of Igbo Leaders of Thought, ILT, said Mazi Nnamdi Kanu called him yesterday and briefed him on goings on, including his travails of the past 13 months.He told him he called a few other persons as well.
According to him, “he thanked all and assured of his total commitment to the struggle for the freedom of his people. He said he has recovered fully and is now in good health. He promised that, as already known by all and sundry, that he and his group remain completely apolitical. He pointedly told me that they have no business whatsoever with both the APC and the PDP..”
Also, Mefor, deputy leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said Nnamdi Kanu did not reach any agreement with any politician to work against President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election.
Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, had said Kanu vowed to work against the re-election of Buhari when they spoke via telephone on Saturday.

In a statement yesterday, Mefor said Fani-Kayode’s claim is “crude tactics” in an attempt to drag the name of the IPOB’s leader in the mud.
The deputy leader of IPOB said Kanu is on a “divine mission to restore Biafra and the resolve behind this restoration project remains irrevocable, sacrosanct and irreversible.”

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp  made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before  Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger. He stormed past other Liverpool players and shouted at Shaqiri, appearing to admonishing him for some mistakes he made during the match. Klopp gesticulated and pointed wildly, though did shake hands with Shaqiri – who was listening to his manager intently – to
