Buhari spoke in public, he accused me in public. I must also be allowed to stand my trial in public\u201d, Kanu bellowed from the dock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is nonsense! I will give testimony before this court! By the time I finish, there will be no Nigeria. This is no Sharia court. It is a court that operates under the common law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be no screening of witnesses, no fake identities or fake addresses. I cannot be tried in secret. No! Nnamdi Kanu cannot be jailed in secret! They are mad. Why must I be tried in secrecy by a government that does not obey court orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are killing my people in public, after killing my people they want to try me in private? That person is mad. I won\u2019t allow it. \u201c, Kanu fumed.<\/p>\n<p>The IPOB leader is facing an 11-count charge alongside three other pro-Biafra agitators, Mr. Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.
