Nnamdi Kanu’s Fundamental Rights Suit For Hearing Nov 2

The suit filed by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on alleged violation of his fundamental human rights will be heard on November 2, 2021.

The suit is pending before the High Court of Abia State.

According to Kanu’s special counsel, Barr Alloy Ejimakor, the Nigerian government and its attorney-general would be expected to move their extant application for extension of time to file their defence to the suit, as well as his opposition to the application.

He told THE WHISTLER that, “It is my intention to, on the spot, move for a ruling on their application for extension of time, so that the case can proceed quickly to the next level, which is expected to be a definitive hearing on the substantive matter.

“Fundamental rights suits are intended to be concluded quickly, especially in situations such as this where my client, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (the applicant), is currently incarcerated.”

Our correspondent reports that when the matter came up for hearing earlier, it was adjourned because it was not then assigned to any judge.
