A former United States, US, Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell has warned that the trial of IPOB’s rearrested leader, Nnamdi Kanu, must not be botched.
Campbell issued the warning to the Federal Government via his Twitter account, @johncampbellcfr.
He stated that a botched trial will further inflame separatism in the country.
“Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was apprehended abroad on June 27 and has been returned to Nigeria for trial. If the government botches Kanu’s trial, it risks further inflaming separatism,” Campbell tweeted.
