Bruce Fein, the United States-based counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to comply with the order of the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council Working Group and release his client immediately. The Working Group on arbitrary detention is under the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR). The group comprises scholars and experts who specialise in human rights issues and related laws.
Nnamdi Kanu’s US Lawyer, Bruce Fein Writes President Buhari To Release IPOB Leader, End Prosecution Or Face Wrath Of GodThe Working Group on arbitrary detention is under the United Nations Commission on Human Rights .
In a letter, the American constitutional lawyer said Buhari was depriving Kanu of his liberty and thus violating 16 international human rights covenants. “Dear President Buhari: If you fear God, you should release Namdi Kanu from his protracted illegal detention forthwith. If you do not, you should tremble for your fate by remembering that God is just, and that his justice will not sleep forever.
“The Working Group requested a timely update of your government’s compliance with its decree, which has been scorned. Nothing has been done to comply with the Working Group’s urgent call for Mr. Kanu’s immediate unconditional release. He remains in solitary confinement in the custody of DSS. Among other things, Mr. Kanu has been denied necessary medical care for a possible life-threatening ailment.
