LAGOS – The World Igbo Congress (WIC) has extolled the judge­ment of the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, on the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

The WIC, in a statement issued at the weekend and signed by its Chairman, Pro­fessor Anthony Ejiofor; Secre­tary General, Sir Chris Ogara and Public Relations Officer, Basil Onwukwe, on behalf of all Igbo in the Diaspora, hailed the judgement delivered by Justice Evelyn Anyadike against the extraordinary ren­dition of Kanu by the agents of the Federal Government.

The WIC said the judgment was monumental, even as it described it as the zenith of “judicial courage”.

It also described as a judi­cial somersault the action of the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Mala­mi, in appealing against the freedom already granted to Kanu by the three-man pan­el of the Court of Appeal in Abuja led by Justice Hanatu Sankeyas.

According to the WIC, “by the judgment of the Federal Court, Umuahia, we see that there is yet hope in the Nige­rian judiciary and we call on the Attorney General to re­direct himself by towing the line of judicial integrity, hon­or and rule of law to ensure that Nnamdi Kanu receives earned justice.

“Once again and in keep­ing with our statement of October 18, 2022, World Igbo Congress calls on the AGF and the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu now.”
