One of the men in the area, who was identified by his nickname as Oga Boss was overheard saying: “this is the best news of the year.

“This Nnamdi Kanu has totally rubbished Nigerian government. He is really teaching them a lesson. All the things he said about Nigeria have come to pass, he has proven that he knows what he is doing.

“Upon all the things the Nigerian government has done to keep him trapped, he has been defeating them in all of them. Maybe now we can have peace in Igbo land,” Oga Boss said.

The same thing happened in other cities, including those in the states of Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia, and Imo, where people burst in hysterical joy.

The federal government was unable to successfully prosecute him for terrorism because of his coercive and illegal rendition, according to the court, which also cleared him of those allegations.
