Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, mazi Nnamdi Kanu has called on the Nigerian government to release the IPOB Leader.

Kanu’s lawyer via his X page on Tuesday said both Nigeria and Kenya violated their own laws and international treaties they were parties to concerning the repatriation of an accused to face prosecution in his own country.

He argued that non of the procedures for repatriation as provided for in the law, was followed in the case of Kanu who was  “abducted in Kenya and renditioned” to Nigeria since June 2021.

“Nigerian & Kenyan laws, plus treaties Nigeria ratified provide steps that MUST be taken in returning an accused to face trial in another country. Failure to take such steps, like in the case of #MNK, PERMANENTLY robs the Court of jurisdiction. The only option is to #FreeMNK.”

Wakadaily reported on October 13 that the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, has quashed the terrorism charge brought against leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra by the Federal Government.

Discharging Kanu of all 15 count on treason preferred against him, the court  faulted the manner in which the IPOB Leader was renditioned to Nigeria, declaring that it violated all known international protocols on repatriation.

It further recommended compensation to Kanu for the abuse and gross violation of his fundamental human rights.
