- Recall that the appellate court had in its judgment discharged and acquitted the IPOB leader of all the charges preferred against him by the Nigerian government, and ordered immediate and unconditional release of Kanu
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has urged his supporters in the pursuit of the Biafra Nation cause to remain dedicated to their ongoing tasks, emphasizing that their journey is still ongoing.
Kanu, who has been held in the custody of the Department of State Service since June 2021 after his arrest by the Nigerian government led by former President Muhammadu Buhari, provided this guidance on Monday during a visit by one of his lawyers, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, in Abuja.
Recently, the Supreme Court set December 15 as the date for delivering its judgment on Kanu’s appeal, aiming to compel the federal government to release him from detention, as directed by the Appeal Court in its October 13, 2022 ruling.
Recall that the appellate court had in its judgment discharged and acquitted the IPOB leader of all the charges preferred against him by the Nigerian government, and ordered immediate and unconditional release of Kanu.
Giving an update on his visit to Kanu, Ejimakor on Monday said, “I just exited from visitation with Nnamdi Kanu. I briefed him on our last outing at the Supreme Court, led by the new Lead Counsel, Kanu Agabi, SAN.
“He directed that the Legal Team and our people must stay focused on the many unfinished tasks at hand and that it’s not yet Uhuru.”
Ejimakor further noted that much work still remained to be done as far as Kanu’s case is concerned, saying that “It is also an expose of the slew of cases we still have pending on his matter. And that his continuous detention means that his case is not yet over. It’s an unfinished business.”
