Members of the legal team of the detained leader of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, have submitted what they call a full list of judgements in the matter to the office of the attorney general of the federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, at the federal ministry of justice in Abuja.
The team, led by, Nnaemeka Ejiofor, said on Thursday that the judgements were from both domestic and international courts directing the release of the IPOB leader.
He said the decision to forward all the pronouncements was in response to the statement credited to the AGF that he was not aware of Kanu’s case and that his fate would be resolved by the court.
Ejiofor also asked president Bola Tinubu to release Kanu and respect the various judgements, directing the IPOB leader’s release.
‘’We are calling on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, who is a democrat, and the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, not to follow the steps laid down by General Muhammadu Buhari which tied Nigeria down.”
‘’We believe that President Tinubu would do better and do the proper thing by releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, not only releasing him but by releasing every human being that is called an IPOB member whether justly or unjustly detained,’’ he said.
Kanu has been in DSS custody since June 2021 when he was arrested in Kenya and has since resumed terrorism-related trial levelled against him by the Federal Government.
