AFTER Supreme Court Rejected Bid To Release Nnamdi Kanu’s Release; SEE What Simon Ekpa Said That Shocked Everyone
In response to the recent decision by the Supreme Court upholding the federal government’ s appeal challenging the Appeal Court’ s verdict dismissing charges against Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa, the Prime Minister of the Indigenous People of Biafra, expressed dissatisfaction. He pointed fingers at Nnamdi Kanu’ s Senior legal Counsel, Ejiofor, accusing him of being ” criminal and treacherous, ” alleging that Ejiofor failed to influence Kanu’ s release.
Ekpa’ s discontent follows the Supreme Court’ s validation of the federal government’ s appeal, resulting in the determination that Kanu must face trial at the Federal High Court. In delivering the judgment, Justice Emmanuel Agim, representing Justice Garba Lawal, asserted that the Court of Appeal erred in ruling that Kanu could not be retried due to alleged illegality by the Federal Government during the invasion of his home. The Supreme Court maintained that, despite the government’ s reckless and unlawful extradition of Kanu from Kenya, it did not impede the continuation of the trial in court.
Justice Lawal clarified that the suit seeking Kanu’ s release on the grounds of unlawful abduction did not cite any Nigerian law. He suggested that the appropriate action would be for Kanu to file a civil matter against the act, emphasizing that it should not hinder the courts from proceeding with the criminal charges against him.
