The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, NNAMDI KANU, has vowed not to return to the Federal High Court in Abuja where he was standing trial before he left the country.

The Federal Government had charged him with treason but Justice BINTA NYAKO granted him bail after 18 months in detention.

KANU had flouted all the terms of the bail before the military invaded his Abia residence on September 14, 2017.

He fled afterwards and resurfaced in Jerusalem on Friday.

In a broadcast via Radio Biafra, KANU boasted that the Nigerian court lacked the capacity to try him.

He said the judge who asked his sureties to produce him should have asked the army why they invaded his residence.

The State government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state capital, two days after dozens of people were killed in Kasuwa Magani village.

Governor, NASIR EL-RUFAI, disclosed this via his verified Twitter account on Sunday.

This follows heightened tension over anticipated reprisal by a group of youths as residents reportedly scamper for safety.

Consequently, a combined team of security operatives including soldiers, police and operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps have been deployed in the state capital.

The security personnel have taken over the major roads and flashpoints in the metropolis, to avert any form of breakdown of law and order.

No fewer than 55 lives were lost, and several others injured when some youths attacked the market on Thursday.
