RETURN NNAMDI KANU TO KENYA — COURT ORDERS FG

The Federal High Court sitting in Umuahia, Abia state, on Wednesday ordered the Federal Government to pay N500 million as damages to the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for forcefully abd#cting and renditioning him from Kenya in June last year

The court also ordered the government to pay Kanu N500 million as damages for his illegal sbd#ction and violation of his fundamental human rights. In the suit filed through his counsel Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu had challenged his extradition from Kenya by the “agents of the federal government”

Kanu alleged that he was kidn@pped from Kenya and brought back to Nigeria to stand trial. He argued that the federal government should be required to show the legal document or authority that served as the foundation for his “abduction or extraordinary rendition”.“My client remains an unlawfully expelled individual, and cannot be subjected to any trial because he was unlawfully renditioned,”the lawyer said.
