The Indigenous People of Biafra has hailed the recent call by the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo for the unconditional release of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention since 2021.
The pro-Biafran group said while they welcome the development, they noted that the issue of granting of bail or standing surety does not arise at this time because the Federal Government has breached the order of a superior court of competent jurisdiction.
“Though the said call for the unconditional release of our leader is belatedly coming three months and one day, after the Court of Appeal, Abuja judicial division, in its erudite judgement delivered on October 13, 2022, discharged and acquitted the leader of IPOB and all the remaining eight-count amended charges preferred against him, and consequently directed for his unconditional release.
“It is important therefore, to clarify that our leader has no form of indictment or even charge pending against him today before any court by the authority of this judgement. “May we also remind Governor Soludo and others, that Kanu’s current incarceration is not sanctioned by any law known to man, it is unconstitutional and affront to constitutional democracy and rule of law.
