Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the Nigerian government and its
Kenyan counterpart of violating international law over the agitator’s arrest.
The counsel stated this while quoting an international law
via his Twitter handle.
He said the two African countries cannot claim ignorance of
the law.
“A state shall provide for all individuals that it wishes to
transfer to the custody of another state an effective, independent, impartial
and individualized judicial oversight prior to transfer.
“Nigeria and Kenya are state parties to this law. Yet, they
chose to break it,” Ejimakor wrote.
Kanu was rearrested and repatriated from an African country
believed to be Kenya.
He had fled Nigeria in 2017 after being granted bail by an
Abuja Federal High Court.
Kanu is standing trial for treason over his agitation for
the actualization of Biafra.
