The Nigerian leader stated there is no guarantee that Kanu won’t skip bail if he is given bail again on Thursday during a bilateral meeting with the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

President Buhari said Kanu should justify all he said while outside the country after reminding the audience that the IPOB leader had already escaped bail and fled the nation.

Buhari according to a statement by his media aide, Femi Adesina submitted that Kanu has “to justify all the uncomplimentary things he had been saying against Nigeria in Britain.”

He added that “He (Kanu) felt very safe in Britain, and said awful things against Nigeria. We eventually got him when he stepped out of the United Kingdom, and we sent him to court. Let him defend all that he has said there. His lawyers have access to him. Remember he jumped bail before, how are we sure he won’t do it again, if he’s admitted to bail?”

You can’t take innocent souls, and ascribe it to God. And the education process is working, the people now understand Boko Haram as anti-God, and not about religion.”

On his part, PM Johnson said he was delighted about the good news on trade between the two countries, adding that the UK was further reducing tariffs on some goods going to Nigeria.

He added that the relationship and partnership between Nigeria and Britain is strong.
