In a significant turn of events, supporters of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), have secured legal victories with substantial compensation awarded by the court. These developments come as IPOB anticipates the Supreme Court’s judgment on Nnamdi Kanu’s case, scheduled to be delivered on December 15.

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the legal counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, revealed that individuals who had been held in various detention facilities by security agencies, facing a range of charges, have been discharged, and they have received compensatory damages.

One such case involves Maria Ezediaro, who was discharged by Justice M.O. Olajuwon of a Federal High Court in Abuja. She had been arrested in February 2021 when she visited the State CID, Owerri, Imo State Command to provide food and medication to a detained friend. Following her arrest, she was subjected to inhumane treatment, torture, and degradation in the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team detention facility in “Abattoir,” Abuja. She was the sole survivor among several innocent Biafrans brought with her. Justice Olajuwon struck out the four-count terrorism charge filed against Mrs. Maria Ezediaro on October 10, 2023, and awarded her freedom.

Another case involves Cletus Nwachukwu Egole, his wife Ifeyinwa Egole, Michael Uba, Ugochukwu Samuel, and Raphael Idang. They were arrested and paraded by the Imo State Command of the Nigeria Police in March 2021, subsequently transferred to the IGP Intelligence Response Team detention facility in “Abattoir,” Abuja. Following a legal battle, the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja, led by Justice V.S. Gaba, declared their arrest and detention as illegal and unconstitutional. The court ordered their unconditional release and awarded N100 million in compensatory damages.

Ngozichukwu Ada-Dav, who had been detained by armed operatives of the Nigeria Police Force and held in unlawful custody, also received justice. Justice Z.B. Abubakar of a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered her release and awarded N30 million in compensatory damages. Ada-Dav had been arrested in June 2021 and experienced severe torture in police custody.

These legal victories represent a significant step towards justice for those who have faced unlawful detention and mistreatment. As the cases of Nnamdi Kanu and his supporters continue to unfold, they highlight the importance of upholding human rights and the rule of law. It remains to be seen how these developments will impact the ongoing legal proceedings and discussions surrounding IPOB and its leader.

In a devastating incident in Awka, Anambra State, a 100-level female student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University lost her life to a stray bullet believed to have been fired by unidentified hoodlums, suspected to be cultists. The tragic event unfolded late one evening along the bustling Miracle Junction in Ifite Awka.

Eyewitnesses at the scene described a horrifying scenario where hoodlums were in hot pursuit, seemingly chasing a tricycle operator. Their intent appeared to be a deadly one, aimed at the operator. However, amidst the chaos, one of the bullets went off course, striking the innocent student, identified simply as Uche, who was walking along the roadside.

Uche, a student in the university’s Medical Lab Department, had been on her way to the market when the cruel twist of fate took her life. The commotion and the terrifying gunshot left the area in shock and mourning.

One witness recounted, “This deceased was a 100-level student of the Faculty of Health Science; she was killed on Thursday evening by a stray bullet shot by suspected cultists who were chasing a tricycle operator at the popular Miracle Junction. The tricycle driver was shot too, and he pretended to be dead, but surprisingly, he stood up after a while and escaped when his attackers had left thinking he was dead.

Tragically, Uche did not survive the incident, and her life was cut short in such a senseless and tragic manner. Her remains were taken to the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.

The Anambra State Police Command, led by DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident. According to Ikenga, preliminary information suggests that the incident may be related to cult activities. The police have launched an investigation into the incident, urging witnesses to come forward and provide information that could lead to the identification and arrest of the culprits.

In response to the tragic event, the police have intensified patrols and surveillance in the area. DSP Ikenga assured the public that the command is committed to eradicating cultism and other forms of crime in the state. He also encouraged residents to promptly report any suspicious activities to the police through the Command’s control room number: 07039194332.
