The southeast body of national political science students (NAPS) which comprises of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, (ANSU), Ebonyi State University (EBSU) Imo State University (IMSU) Abia State University (ABSU) University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) and NOUN. They have expressed their concern on what they termed disgrace of the Nigerian people by the present government, wondering how a political matter that ought to be resolved politically should warrant imprisonment and irresponsible trial of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra. They persisted that in the first place Nnamdi Kanu deserves not to be brought to the court as long as he is lawfully and peacefully going about restoration of Biafra. In such political situation, dialogue and debates should be the key and not imprisonment.
However, they believe that the cause of the masquerades and criminals to stand as witness against Kanu shows that he should not be brought to the court in the first place. The body went ahead to criticize the initial plea of the federal government to present masked men as witnesses, their words “how can a witness be allowed to give evidence from behind a mask” decrying that body language and facial expression are the key factors in assessing the credibility of a witness and a defendant “we do not see how on earth a judge or a jury can appraise evidence when they are facing somebody who is cloaked and is completely invisible to them. It is almost impossible to have a proper trial if one of the persons standing as a witness is masked.
There are two types of people that wear mask in Nigeria, one is spirit and two is criminal, so the person standing as witness must be either spirit or the later which is highly unacceptable in a law court” they insisted. Praising Justice John Tosho for denying FG the application they also wondered what Kanu is doing in the prison and coming to the court for. They held that the inability to get a human witness shows lack of merit of the case against Kanu. Self-determination is a law and if the law is not in ones favour should not mean the court should turn the law upside down and hurt a law-abiding person.
“It is imperative for justice Tosho to accept the fact that Nnamdi Kanu should be released immediately without favour or fear of what those masterminding his unhealthy trial will say. We are in a democratic government, agitating for right to self-determination is not a crime, treason or unlawful” they however declared their support for Nnamdi Kanu and urged other bodies to speak up in solidarity of a man that choose freedom of speech over arms and peaceful protest over violent battle.
