The Indigenous People of Biafra has asked the Federal Government to release its detained leader, Mazi Kanu, on health grounds, before it’s too late.

The group insisted that Kanu did not commit any crime, saying that the IPOB leader was “criminally abducted” from Kenya and placed in illegal detention in Nigeria.

In a statement by the group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Thursday, it urged Justice Binta Nyako to protect the sanctity of the judiciary by ordering the Federal Government to release the detained IPOB leader.

The group said the unlawful rendition of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria constituted a natural bar to any prosecution or his further detention in DSS solitary confinement and also a violation of his fundamental rights.

The statement read, “We, the global movement of IPOB, wish to state unequivocally that the rendition of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria since June 2021 till date is a violation of his fundamental rights.

“No civilised nation in the world, more so, those under common law system of justice, condone kidnapping and extrajudicial transfer of suspects across international borders, without the authority of law grounded in an extradition process.

“Nigeria court must protect the sanctity of the institution of judiciary by ordering for the unconditional release of Kanu on the face of the fundamental violations of international and local laws by the Federal Government in the abduction and extraordinary rendition of our great leader.

“We insist that our great leader, Kanu, should be released unconditionally without much delay and hesitation.”

Release a terrorist before his trial is over? Only an irresponsible leader will contemplate such and that's the reason why we all must make sure that IPOB sympathizer Peter Obi is never elected as president

Emergingnation:
Says Afonja.... He coming out stronger with Biafran flag in his hand..... Nigeria is the one apparently dying slowly and painful death.... Amen !

The actualization of sovereign state of Biafra is a task that must be accomplished...

What if the government doesn't reply the UN, what will happen? It seems you don't know what's called sovereignty.

Emergingnation:
Go and read the UN reports which indicted Nigeria for breaking the international laws of extradition and rendition by kidnapping Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya and see the punishment that'll b meted out to he , if she failed to comply with the UN order to release and compensation him..

Roger3D:
Is Ohamadike still shitting his pants? Or has the UN sent him medicine for his diarrhea?

femianski:

Now tell me the punishments.

Roger3D:
Didn't you listen to his Arise TV interview where he said he was going to negotiate with 'agitators'? Of course Kanu will walk free to continue his acts of terror the moment Obi makes it to the presidency. We must resist him!

Emergingnation:
All round sanctions..

asanausana91:
Obi will never rule this country.
