IPOB PRESS RELEASE
We the global body of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the able leadership of our indefatigable Leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, wish to welcome the recent call by the Governor of Anambra State-Governor Charles Soludo for the unconditional release of our leader Mazi NNAMDI Kanu.
Though the said call for the unconditional release of our leader is belatedly coming three months and one day, after the Court of Appeal, Abuja judicial division, in its erudite judgment delivered on the 13th day of October 2022, discharged and acquitted the leader of IPOB and all the remaining 8-Count amended charge preferred against him and consequently directed for the unconditional release the landmark judgment further prohibited the Federal Government of Nigeria from further detaining our leader or even presenting him for trial on any indictment or offense whatsoever before any court in Nigeria.
It is important, therefore, to clarify that our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU has no form of indictment or even charge pending against him today before any court by the authority of this Judgement. The issue of granting bail or otherwise does not arise by any stretch of consideration or imagination, because it is the Federal Government that is today in breach of this order of a superior court of competent Jurisdiction.
It is to be emphasized further that onyendu who was discharged on the 13th Day of October 2022, by the court of appeal court does not have any need for surety because there is no charge hanging on his neck today, we have gone beyond the issue of Surety or no surety, every genuine call/demand in the prevailing circumstance should be firmly directed at calling out on the Federal Government of Nigeria to immediately obey the order for the unconditional release of Onyendu made by its own court.
May we also remind Governor Soludo and others, that Onyendu’s current incarceration is not sanctioned by any law known to man, it is unconstitutional and an affront to constitutional democracy and rule of law.
Further to the above, is the fact that Mazi Nnamdi KANU has no case to answer again, therefore, the need for surety does not arise, instead Governor Soludo should gear all his efforts towards persuading and compelling the lawless Fulani rulers of Nigeria to obey their Law.
It is to be pointed out further, that this kind of plea is the reason why Janjawead rulers of Nigeria have no regard for the rule of Law, why should we be pleading with them to obey their court orders directing for the unconditional release of Onyendu? It’s compelling and mandatory on their part to obey their court orders.
Federal Government is today in grave contempt of the orders of the court of its court, and their appeal before the Supreme Court can not justify the present illegal incarceration of our leader in solitary confinement in DSS.
