Following a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja on Monday that dismissed his applications for bail and transfer from the Department of State Services custody, Kanu addressed journalists at the court premises, asserting that the Terrorism Prohibition and Prevention Act prohibits his trial in Nigeria.

“Anyone standing trial or coming to try me is a terrorist. That is what the law says, not me. Section 2, Subsection 3(f) of the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act says so.
