The Indigenous People of Biafra’s legal team has argued that no Nigerian court has authority to continue the prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu.
Ifeanyi Ejiofor spoke to reporters in Owerri after paying the IPOB leader a visit at the Department of State Service (DSS) facility in Abuja on Sunday.
He said that Kanu’s extraordinary rendition was in violation of Nigerian law.

“Our private meeting provided us with the rare chance to discuss on strategic legal dynamics on all current IPOB issues, with special attention to the anticipated likely outcome of the upcoming proceedings on April 8, 2022,” he said.
“Needless to reiterate the fact that no Court in Nigeria has the jurisdiction to proceed with the trial of Onyendu, who was extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria. This is a grave infraction, which is in clear violation of Nigerian Law, specifically Article 12 (4) of the ACHPR (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap A9 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. We need not reopen our argument here.
“Onyewu was extensively briefed on pertinent developments, and his words of encouragement and reaffirmation of trust/confidence in our legal team are all we need to keep up with the legal fireworks.

“Onyewu was further assured that no stone will be left unturned in ensuring that justice is done in his case because he has committed no offence known to law. His present incarceration represents a punishment for an offence he never committed, this would explain the amendment of the Charge six consecutive times in search of phantom/non-existent offences.”
