A Federal High Court, sitting in Umuahia, Abia State has adjourned the case of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to October 27 for judgement.
The court presided over by Justice Evelyn Anyadike on Tuesday reserved the ruling till October 27, 2022, on Kanu’s eight-point application over the Nigerian government’s attack on his country home and extraordinary rendition from Kenya.
MAD had reported that the IPOB leader is challenging the Nigerian government over his extraordinary rendition, and arrest from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021.
In addition to other demands, the IPOB organisation is asking Nigerian authorities for N25billion in damages.
The Special Counsel to Kanu and IPOB, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, brought the United Nations (UN) request for his client’s unconditional release to the court’s attention during the Tuesday court session.
“Until the respondents provide a warrant of extradition or arrest, Kanu’s arrest remains highly illegal and unconstitutional,” Ejimakor said.
