The last thing we heard about  Nnamdi KANU,the activist and self proclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is that he was sentenced to Life imprisonment and moved to Sokoto prison.
One new revelation that was made by an IBO Lawyer leaves us confused as to the fact that there are no grounds for appeal since KANU did not enter into defence making him guilty on all charges made against him.
What that means is that that Appeal Court and even the Supreme Court will simply concur with the judgement of the Federal Court of Appeal which relied heavily on the Laws of the Land.
Another area that is not clear to us is the insistence by KANU that the terrorism act has been abrogated when indeed it was only amended to give an option of a life sentence instead of the former provision that prescribed only a death sentence.
If truly, the Terrorism act was only amended not repelled, then Kanu's defence team failed totally for such myopia as it now stands..
We look forward to a way out of this logjam as it is a real test of the unity of the Nigerian State.
