IPOB has reacted to Nnamdi Kanu’s release.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has commended the Court of Appeal for discharging and acquitting the leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu.

This online media platform had earlier reported that a Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Thursday, struck out charges levelled against him by the Federal government.

The Court of Appeal ruled that the Federal Government breached all local and international laws in the forceful rendition of Kanu to Nigeria thereby making the terrorism charges against him incompetent and unlawful.

Justice Oludotun Adebola in his ruling on Thursday voided and set aside the charges by the Federal Government against Kanu.

The court held that the failure of Nigeria to follow due process by way of extradition was fatal to the charges against Kanu.

Reacting in a statement on Thursday, IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, expressed joy over the court ruling.

According to the pro-Biafra group, the judgement showed that some judges are still upright.

He said: “Yes, we are happy to hear that our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU has been acquainted and discharged that is to show that some judges are good and know the law and understand that Nnamdi KANU did not commit crimes and his extraordinary renditioned was very illegal.”

“Biafrans both home and abroad including our friends should rejoice because Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama has done it again. Biafra realisation is the next target and nothing will stop it IPOB from achieving Biafra freedom,” IPOB added.
