Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB, accuses the Nigerian government of judicial and executive fraud since his rendition in 2021. In an open letter, Kanu outlines legal inconsistencies, unlawful actions, and judicial bias, highlighting his ongoing detention despite several court rulings that should have led to his release.
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has once again accused the Nigerian government of committing judicial fraud and illegal acts following his 2021 rendition from Kenya. In a public statement, Kanu condemned the series of unlawful actions surrounding his case and called on the Nigerian judiciary to uphold its own rulings. He emphasized that despite court orders, his continued detention is a violation of both domestic and international law. Kanu's legal team has repeatedly petitioned for his release, citing his wrongful detention and the flawed legal process that led to it.
Kanu's accusations center around claims of government interference with the judiciary and a deliberate disregard for court rulings. He maintains that his rendition was unlawful and highlights the broader implications for the integrity of Nigeria's legal system. As of now, his case continues to be a point of contention between his supporters, the Nigerian government, and human rights organizations advocating for his release.
Nnamdi Kanu's statement underscores his belief that his ongoing detention is part of a larger pattern of governmental abuse, which he argues is designed to undermine the legal system and maintain control over political dissent. His supporters continue to rally for his release, citing the principles of justice and human rights.
