Special Counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor, has required the genuine release of the secessionist leader from detention.

According to him, Nigeria must initially discuss to domestic courts and the global neighborhood how Kanu ended up in their in chains.He stated, “This is but a fundamental condition precedent without which prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu can not ensue.”

In a statement he signed and provided to DAILY POST on Monday, the lawyer stated that until now, neither the Attorney-General, nor any other Nigerian authorities has described how and where Nnamdi Kanu was ‘obstructed.’

He also explained that the Federal Government has actually not been able to counter Kanu’s accounts and details of how the so-called interception was made, which include claims that he was abducted, disappeared, tortured in Kenya, and renditioned to Nigeria.

“During the hearing of Kanu’s basic rights fit in Abia State (which he won), the Nigerian government could not explain how Kanu wound up in Nigeria, hence validating that Kanu was not extradited however unlawfully renditioned,” the declaration included.

He noted that the Kenyan Government has also emphatically rejected that Kanu was subjected to any extradition.

“In view of the foregoing, there are several questions and answers well-meaning Nigerians and the international community should demand from Nigeria,” he included.

“The Nigerian Constitution offers in its essential rights at Section 35( 1) that ‘No individual shall be denied of his liberty save in accordance with a procedure allowed by law’. “

“… it is trite that a renditioned fugitive suspect can not be subjected to trial.

“Kanu needs to be restitutioned or brought back to the status quo, whether to Kenya or Britain, at his alternative.

“The next finest thing for Nigerian authorities to do is to toe the course of honour and contrition by launching Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally.

“In the interim, it might pick the much easier option of forbearing any objections to reinstatement of Nnamdi Kanu’s bail, which will quickly clear the judicial course to his release.”
