Malami Begs Supreme Court Not To Free Nnamdi Kanu

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice , Abubakar Malami, has asked the Supreme Court to restore the terrorism related charges against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The AGF particularly asked the apex court to quash the judgement of the lower court which freed Kanu of all charges.

This was confirmed to our Correspondent by one of the IPOB Lawyer, Maxwell Opara.

Recall that the Court of Appeal had faulted FG for unlawfully extraditing Kanu to Nigeria.

At the appellate court, the federal government had maintained that it followed due process to extradite Kanu.

But Kanu’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome SAN argued that if it were so, the FG could have stated where Kanu was arrested and the court process that was filed in the transferring country to bring his client to Nigeria.

After listening the submissions of counsels, the Court of Appeal agreed that the federal government forcefully abducted and extraordinarily renditioned Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria on the 27th day of June 2021.

It declared that the development was in violation of international and state laws, adding that the lower court or indeed any court in this country is divested of jurisdiction to entertain charges against Kanu.
