The family of Nnamdi Kanu, embattled leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has threatened to invoke a prima facie
evidence against the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government.
Kanu’s brother, Kanunta, said the family would be compelled
to take such action due to the Federal Government’s refusal to give
clarification on the agitator’s arrest, extradition, and trial.
In a statement he issued yesterday, Kanunta said the family
insists on knowing the exact location the IPOB leader was arrested.
According to Kanunta: “President Mohammadu Buhari’s led
administration has failed to proffer clarifications on the processes deployed
in extraditing the freedom fighter.
“As family, we insist on knowing the exact location from
where our brother was intercepted, as alleged by the Nigerian government and
how come no clarification has been given up until this date.
“The action of the Federal Government, for us, amounts to
illegality, and you can not put illegality on illegality and expect it to
stand. So, if the court fails to adhere to constitutional law, we would be
compelled to invoke the prima facie evidence against the federal government”.
Kanu was said to have been rearrested last June in an
African country believed to be Kenya.
The IPOB leader is currently facing terrorism charges before Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court.
