Jubilations In Biafra Land! Supreme Court Finally open New Window for Nnamdi Kanu release; See details
The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, views the recent Supreme Court ruling denying his bail as a potential avenue for his freedom. During a meeting with his legal team, led by special counsel Aloy Ejimakor and Barrister Nnaemeka, at the DSS facility in Abuja, Kanu expressed disappointment with the judgment but identified aspects that could open a new legal pathway for his release.
In a statement by Ejimakor, Kanu urged confidence in this new development. Despite his acceptance of the apex court’ s ruling, which nullified a previous Court of Appeal decision ordering his release, Kanu questions whether the court effectively nullified constitutional provisions cited for his release.
The Supreme Court acknowledged the unlawful rendition of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria by the government but asserted that such actions wouldn’ t strip courts of their power to proceed with the trial. This unfolding legal situation keeps the prospects of Nnamdi Kanu’ s release uncertain, prompting a careful examination of the intricacies within the recent Supreme Court judgment.

Describing the judgment as a potential ” new legal window” for his freedom, Kanu demonstrates resilience in the face of legal challenges. His expressed disappointment with the decision is tempered by a strategic optimism, suggesting that certain aspects of the ruling may pave the way for his release.
