The lawyer added that Kanu travelled to Kenya on his British passport and was duly admitted as such and as a free man.
Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has dragged the Nigerian and Kenyan governments to the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights, demanding accountability over the torture and extraordinary rendition of Kanu.
Ejimakor in a release obtained by SaharaReporters on Monday noted that one of the reliefs being sought is that Kanu must be restored to his state of being before the rendition, which in this case is the United Kingdom. Ejimakor said, “A few days ago, I commenced a continental legal action against Nigeria and Kenya before the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights, demanding accountability for the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Jurisdiction lies with the Commission because Nigeria and Kenya are State Parties to the African Charter; and Nigeria even took a step further to domesticate the Charter, thus making it part of her municipal laws.
