The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, has warned the United
Nations, UN, against interfering in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The UN recently indicted both the Nigerian and Kenyan
Governments for the extraordinary rendition, torture and continued detention of
Kanu without due process.
Consequently, the UN agreed and recommended to the Federal
Government to immediately release Kanu unconditionally.
But CNG in a communique issued at the end of its year’s
annual retreat on Monday, reiterated its position against undue interference by
the international community, particularly the United Nations in the internal
security affairs of the country.
The communique signed by Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, its
Spokesperson, “cautioned the UN to desist from allowing some of its officials
drag it into international disrepute by interfering in particularly the matter
of the trial of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.”
It further “Cautioned the Nigerian authorities against
succumbing to undue pressure from whatever quarter to avoid setting dangerous
precedence in the country.
