Breaking: Drama As IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Declares Support For Liverpool FC

Nnamdi Kanu on Wednesday told Justice Binta of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court that he supports English Premier League side Liverpool.

Mrs Nyako had jokingly asked Mr Kanu, who is facing treasonable felony charges before her court, which football team he supports.

She noted that she had always seen the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the media adorning clothes of different football clubs different from the designer clothes he wears to court.

“What is your team?” Mrs Nyako asked.

Mr Kanu gently stood up in the dock and said: “My team is Liverpool even from the age of seven”.

The development occurred when Mr Kanu’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, complained that the State Security Services (SSS) had not been allowing him and other counsel enough time to meet with the IPOB leader whenever they visited him in detention.

The judge then reminded Mr Ozekhome that he had once thanked the SSS in open court for procuring an orthopedic mattress, pillow and others for his client.

She said she had already ordered that the security outfit should give Mr Kanu moderate treatment and care while in detention like food, clothing, medicare, etc.

Then Mrs Nyako turned to Mr Kanu and said despite her order for him to change his clothes, the IPOB leader continued to put on the same milk-colour designers wear.
