Senate Minority Leader, Enyinaya Abaribe has vowed to once again, stand surety for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
He made his position known during an interview on TVC’s Journalists Hangout saying he stood surety for the IPOB agitator when he was arranged because it was a condition.
He added that one of the demands by the court was that one of the sureties must be a Senator and as the Chairman of the Southeast Senators Caucus then, he chose to to offer himself as the surety.
He said he did not feel betrayed that Kanu fled the country saying he ran for his life.
According to Abaribe, “He’s our son. He’s from our state (Abia) He (Kanu) said it himself that he ran for his dear life.
There is a difference between jumping bail and escaping for your life. I went back to court and deposed that on the basis of the principle of ‘last seen,’ that the last people seen with him were soldiers of the Nigerian Army who were invading his father’s residence.
