A Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, has ruled that the extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was against his fundamental rights.<\/p>\n
The court gave the judgment while ordering that Kanu be restored to the state he was in before he was arrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition in June 2021.<\/p>\n
Recall that Kanu was arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria last year.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian Government was accused of subjecting the IPOB leader to extraordinary rendition last year.<\/p>\n
Upon his return to Nigeria, Kanu was locked up by the Department of State Services, DSS, while subjecting him to legal tussles.<\/p>\n
To this end, Kanu\u2019s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, instituted a legal action against the Nigerian Government.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the court granted all the seven prayers sought by Ejimakor.<\/p>\n
In a tweet, Ejimakor wrote: \u201cMazi Nnamdi Kanu WINS at Federal High Court, Umuahia. Court ruled that the Extraordinary Rendition is a violation of his fundamental rights.
