The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has lauded the courageous judgement of the Justices of the Court of Appeal,Abuja, which discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of the charges brought against him by Nigerian government.
A statement issued by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Mr Emma Powerful, on Friday, noted that the ruling “has taken sleep away from Attorney General of Nigeria and DSS’s eyes”.
The group said the “Appeal Court discharged and acquitted Kanu from all charges against him because of Nigeria’s executive rascality in kidnapping and extraordinarily renditioning him from Kenya to Nigeria”.
“Besides, United Nations Working group have given them instructions to ensure the quick and unconditional release of our Kanu within six months,” the statement added
The group said now that the Appeal Court had discharged and acquitted him, he should be immediately released.
“Nigeria Presidency have the opportunity to release him unconditionally and save themselves from the shame that will befall them.
“IPOB is ready to bring more shame against them if they delay in releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” it added
The group threatened: We in IPOB will not take such legal babarism from Malami and those he represents lying down”.
IPOB expressed “appreciation to the indomitable team of lawyers and thank all who never capitulated until this legal victory was achieved.”
