Nnamdi Kanu News Today: Read The Full Statement By ‘The Government Of Biafra’

The De-facto customary government of Biafra has warned the Nigerian government to ensure the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is within the standard of the conventional rule of law.

The government stated this in reaction to the arrest and continued detention of Kanu.

In a press release on Saturday signed by the estranged IPOB Deputy-Leader, Uche Okafor-Mefor, who is the de-facto customary government of Biafra’s Head of Information and Communication, it identified Kanu as its citizen, stating that it is monitoring the situation.

Nnamdi Kanu's rearrest

Recall Abubakar Malami, Nigeria's attorney-general, said last Tuesday that Kanu was “intercepted through the collaborative efforts of Nigerian intelligence and Security Services.”

He did not state where the separatist leader was arrested, but AllNews learnt that Kanu, who is believed to be based in the United Kingdom (UK), was seized in Kenya.

Kanu was repatriated to Nigeria and is scheduled to go to court again on July 26.

PRESS STATEMENT ON CITIZEN NNAMDI KANU ARRAIGNMENT IN NIGERIA LAW COURT

1. Our official reliable source has it that citizen Nnamdi Kanu has been arraigned by the Nigerian authorities. The circumstances are yet to be clarified.

2. The Government of Biafra reiterates that clarity, certainty and labelling of offences in the Nigerian criminal justice system remains an open question; hence must be proven beyond reasonable doubt.

3. Therefore, the Government of Biafra is keenly monitoring the trends of this incident within the standard of the conventional rule of law.

4. The Government of Biafra distinguishes her immense contribution to fundamental human rights and present-day restoration struggle from any action of unnecessary recklessness and abetting of crimes by internal or external individuals, state agencies or groups.

5. Rule of law and justice of which much has been given with the blood of Biafrans must prevail.

Long live the Government of Biafra!
Long live the Leadership and Government of Biafra!!
