Kanu is seeking N25 billion naira from Nigerian authorities as damages, among other requests.
During the court session on Tuesday, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Kanu and IPOB, brought the United Nations (UN’s) charge to release his client unconditionally to the court’s notice.
“Until the respondents provide a warrant of extradition or arrest, Kanu’s arrest remains highly illegal and unconstitutional,” Ejimakor said.

The legal practitioner also faulted the September 2017 military invasion of Kanu’s home, saying “If Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his family and community were not harassed and scores killed in 2017 by the Nigerian military, we wouldn’t be here hearing cases.”
