The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described it as clownish for the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (AGF), Abubakar Malami, to say whether IPOB’s detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu would be released from detention, is dependent on the Southeast governors and politicians. The separatist leader has been detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) since his extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021. Last Thursday, a three-man panel of the Appeal Court in their ruling discharged and acquitted Kanu.
October 18, 2022IPOB described Malami’s claim that the unconditional release of Kanu would be determined by Southeast governors and politicians as unintelligent, disgraceful and incoherent.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Tuesday, IPOB described Malami’s claim that the unconditional release of Kanu would be determined by Southeast governors and politicians as unintelligent, disgraceful and incoherent. “What a clownish statement from the chief law officer of Nigeria, a SAN for that matter who should know better. Such illogical statements from the Nigerian government and its officials is one among many justifications for calling Nigeria the Zoological Republic of Nigeria.
“IPOB wants to ask Malami, when did Igbo governors and politicians become a court of superior mandate in Nigeria to decide if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu our leader will be released unconditionally or not after the Appeal Court, the second highest court of competent jurisdiction has made a well-reasoned ruling already.
“Malami and the APC Government must release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally as declared by the Appeal Court and recommended by the UN Human Rights Working Group without delay because he committed no crime known to either Local or International law.
