The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday, disclosed why the Appeal Court in Abuja discharged and acquitted its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, of terrorism charges.
IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the Appeal Court in Abuja discharged and acquitted Kanu due to executive rascality.
Reacting to the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami’s remark that Kanu was only discharged and not acquitted, Powerful said the Minister must be daft to have interpreted the law otherwise.
In a statement, Powerful vowed that IPOB would not take such legal barbarism from Malami.
The statement reads partly: “The Appeals Court discharged and acquitted our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU from all charges against him because of Nigeria’s executive rascality in kidnapping and extraordinarily renditioning him from Kenya to Nigeria.
“But for the Attorney General, Malami and DSS Agents to interpret the ruling otherwise means that they are either legally daft or they want to be above the Nigeria constitution that they claim to uphold. We in IPOB will not take such legal barbarism from Malami and those he represents lying down.
“We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership and command of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU wish to commend the Appeals Court Judges for their boldness in the landmark ruling that has taken sleep away from Attorney General of Nigeria and DSS’s eyes.
“We equally appreciate our indomitable team of lawyers Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Barrister Nnaemeka Ejiofor, Barrister maxwell Okpara and others led by Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN).
“We thank all of you who never capitulated until this legal victory was achieved. By now the Nigeria Federal Government, Attorney General, and Department of State Services should understand that God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama is behind what we are doing and nothing will stop us from getting Biafra at the table where everybody will rejoice. The earlier they schedule a date for the Referendum the better for all of us.”
