IPOB Demands Justice for Nnamdi Kanu

Following the Judgement of a Kenya High Court that declared Nnamdi Kanu’s transfer to Nigeria as illegal, the Indigenous People of Biafra has demanded for Justice for the IPOB leader. The Body therefore enjoin the Judiciary and the presiding Judge in the ongoing case, Justice James Omotoso of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to follow the path of the Judgement delivered by a Kenya High Court.

The Spokesperson of IPOB, Emma Powerful in a statement made available to Judiciary Correspondents in Abuja revealed that the Kenya High Court in a resounding Judgement on June 24th 2025, found that the abduction, incommunicado detention, torture, and illegal transfer of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021 was unlawful, unconstitutional, and a gross violation of his fundamental human rights under Kenyan and international law.

The Indigenous People of Biafra posited that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu does not commit any crime in Kenya adding that he entered Kenya lawfully as a British citizen but was abducted in broad daylight at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by agents of Nigeria’s secret police in collusion with elements of the Kenyan security apparatus. IPOB stressed that the verdict placed a permanent and indelible legal stain on the records of former presidents Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria and former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, and their accomplices.

It therefore implored Justice Omotoso to ensure that Justice is not only done but seems to have been served in the matter before him noting that, the Kenya’s Judgement should be a mirror that Justice is not an act of cowardice, but of courage. The Trial of the leader of the indigenous People of Biafra resumes on the second week of July before Justice James Omotoso of the Federal High Court Abuja.
