Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and the Director General of the Department of State Service (DSS) Headquarters, Abuja have been served with the judgment of the Appeal Court which discharged ad acquitted the IPOB leader.
Ejiofor, who said that Kanu could not hold back his extreme joy over the judgment, added that the DSS was expected to release Kanu from the detention without further delay in compliance with the court order.
However, Kanu had filed an appeal against the government that his extraordinary rendition from Kenya was illegal. Giving update on their visit to Kanu on Monday, Ejiofor said, “We have just left the DSS Headquarters, Abuja, after our fruitful meeting/engagement with our ever resolute, indefatigable, erudite, and uncompromising Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kamanu Ozuzu Kanu.
“He is profoundly grateful to UmuChineke for your resoluteness and prayers, which impacted so positively in this victory. “But, be assured, UmuChineke, and the entire world that we are aggressively pursuing total compliance with this Court Order within every permissible legal precinct and shall keep everyone updated.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria has totally run out of options, and the only valid OPTION available to them now is to obey the Order made by a very Superior Court of record and immediately free Onyendu. The time is now, and it is irreversible!
