The Kenyan government has revealed that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, did not leave the nation following his entry on May 12, 2021.
This was revealed in an Affidavit “written up and submitted” by the Kenyan Attorney-General and deposed to on February 10, 2022 in Nairobi, Kenya.
The Government of Kenya added Kanu’s entrance and exit records from Kenya from July 17, 2019 to May 12, 2022, when he last visited the nation, to the affidavit.
How FG Exposed Its Involvement In Nnamdi Kanu’s ‘Abduction’ From Kenya
This most recent information was provided in a statement signed by Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s Special Counsel, and given to Newsmen on Wednesday.
Following his return to Nigeria, the IPOB leader was charged with terrorism by Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court.
“In the last Affidavit produced by the Kenyan government in defence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s suit filed in Kenya, it alleged that there was no immigration record of Kanu’s departure from Kenya after his last entry on May 12th 2021,” the statement added.
The Government of Kenya attached Kanu’s arrival and departure records from Kenya from 17th July 2019 to 12th May 2022 when he last entered Kenya in an affidavit “written up and submitted” by the Attorney-General of Kenya and attested to in Nairobi, Kenya on 10th February 2022.
Paragraph 12 of the Affidavit stated, “That it is evident from the schedule below that since 17/7/2019, the said Nwannekaenyi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu has visited and departed Kenya on several occasions”.
Paragraph 13 of the Affidavit states “That from the above travel history, it is evident that his last arrival date was 12/5/2021 and there is no evidence exhibited to prove that he thereafter left the country”.
Paragraph 14 of the Affidavit stated, “That I am not privy to his (Kanu’s) arrest, detention or extradition”.
Ejimakor noted that Kanu’s extraordinary rendition was an indication of crime against the IPOB leader.
“It is pertinent to note that this Affidavit, having been “drawn up and filed” by the Attorney-General of Kenya is the clearest official confirmation yet from the government of Kenya that what happened to Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya amounts to a crime, both in Nigeria, Kenya and under international law.
“With this latest development, Kanu’s ordeal in Kenya has turned a new corner where domestic and international criminal indictments will lie against the persons that directly or indirectly participated in this high crime. It has gone beyond extraordinary rendition,” the statement added.
