The legal team of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has stated that no court in Nigeria has the jurisdiction to proceed in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu.
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, told newsmen in Owerri after they paid the IPOB leader a visit at the at the Department of State Service, DSS, facility in Abuja, last Sunday.
He said that the extraordinarily rendition suffered by Kanu violated subsisting Nigerian laws.
According to him: “Our exclusive interaction offered us the unique opportunity to brainstorm on strategic legal dynamics on all pending IPOB cases, with particular regard to the envisaged possible outcome of the 8th April 2022 scheduled proceedings.
“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.”This article was originally published on Nigeria News
