Nnamdi Kanu has reacted to a court ruling against Buhari’s government.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has hailed the ruling of the Federal High Court sitting in Umuahia which ordered the Federal Government to compensate him with N500m following his illegal abduction and human rights abuse from Kenya.
This online media platform earlier reported that the court had ordered the Muhammadu Buhari government to pay the sum of N500 million as damages to the IPOB leader over the abuse of his human rights.
In a ruling on Wednesday, the presiding judge, Justice E . N Anyadike, ordered the Buhari government to return Kanu to Kenya from where he was extradited to Nigeria on June 19, 2021.
The judge also ruled that the extradition of Kanu from Kenya without recourse to the legal process was a flagrant abuse of his fundamental human rights, ordering the government to stop the prosecution of the IPOB leader.
Justice Anyadike ruled that the government could not disprove the claims of the applicant that he was arrested, blindfolded, tortured, and chained to the ground for eight days in Kenya before his extradition to Nigeria.
In a chat with reporters after the judgement, Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor said the judgement had shown that the court still remains the last hope for the common man.
Ejimakor, therefore, called on the federal government to obey the court order and return Kanu to Kenya.
