Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyers Demand Release Of Detained IPOB Leader

Sharing is caring






Lawyers of the detained leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, have submitted a full list of judgements in the matter to the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, at the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja.



The leader of the team, Barr Nnaemeka Ejiofor, told journalists on Thursday that the judgements were from both domestic and international courts directing the release of the IPOB leader.



He said the decision to forward all the pronouncements was in response to the statement credited to the AGF that he was not aware of Kanu’s case and that his fate would be resolved by the court.



Ejiofor also asked President Bola Tinubu to release Kanu and respect the various judgements, directing the IPOB leader’s release.




On May 24, Fagbemi, said the offence of the detained IPOB leader is a difficult one and can only be resolved by a competent court of law.



Justice Nyako dismissed the request by Kanu for the restoration of his revoked bail and the removal from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), to a house arrest or prison custody



Kanu has been in DSS custody since June 2021 when he was arrested in Kenya and has since resumed terrorism-related trial levelled against him by the Federal Government.
