The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has fired back at Federal High court judge, Justice Binta Nyako that she and her family should move to the nearest prison.

Kanu’s lawyers also said his client will return immediately if the court could guarantee his safety in Nigeria.

The presiding judge, Justice Nyako, said the court can only guarantee the safety of the IPOB leader if only he is kept in prison.

“Even judges are being abducted in the country. So prison is the only safest place for him,” she said.

Replying, Mr kanu, in turn recommended a prison for the judge and her family members since no where is safe any longer.

He said on Twitter:
“According to Justice Binta Nyako, “Nigeria is NOT safe for anyone, including judges,” Mr kanu said in a tweet Friday afternoon.

“If in her view prison is the safest place to live for Nigerians, I suggest her family move into the nearest one to avoid being abducted. Nigeria is lawless, confirmed!” the secessionist leader added.
