The Nigerian government has been dragged before the African Union (AU) by the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) over the arrest of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The group filed a complaint before the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR), a judicial body of the AU tasked with promoting and protecting human rights and collective rights throughout the African continent.
The complaint was filed by IPOB through its lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor.
