A video has surfaced online showing the lawyers of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra, Mike Ozekhome SAN and Ifeanyi
Ejiofor, on their knees in a thanksgiving prayer as the appeal court discharged and acquitted their client of the charges preferred against him by the Federal Government.
Ozekhome got on his knees while he prayed for the Court, judiciary, Ndigbo, and other tribes in Nigeria. Recall that the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday declared as illegal and unlawful the abduction of the Biafra nation agitator, Nnamdi Kanu, from Kenya to Nigeria and quashed the entire terrorism charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
The Court held that the Federal Government breached all local and international laws in the forceful rendition of Kanu to Nigeria, thereby making the terrorism charges against him incompetent and unlawful.
