The South-Eastern Council of Traditional Rulers and representatives of the Igbo Archbishops and Bishops, on Tuesday, demanded the immediate release of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Recall that a three-man panel of the Court of Appeal in Abuja led by Justice Hanatu Sankey had on Thursday, October 13, 2022, held that the Federal High Court lacks the jurisdiction to try Nnamdi Kanu on the grounds of his rendition to Nigeria which violates the protocol on extradition and the OAU convention, subsequently discharging him.
The National Security Council which met subsequently agreed with Malami and advised that Nnamdi Kanu remains behind bars.
