Igbo-British Lawyers Attack Kenyan Govt Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Arrest

*Describe Action As Illegal, Archaic

The coalition of Igbo-British lawyers has condemned the arrest
of leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, in a foreign land and his forceful repatriation to Nigeria,
while fingering Kenya in the plot.

In a statement by Attorney E.R Okoroafor in Glasgow, Scotland,
the group said Kanu’s arrest was “illegal and archaic.”

It accused the Kenyan government of playing a major role “in the
illegal detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra
MAZI NNAMDI KANU and subsequent handing him over to the Nigerian
government without any due process.”

The group said Kanu “entered Kenya with his British passport,
and the Kenya government is fully aware of his citizenship status
but still went ahead to perpetuate their illegal act which does not
only breach the personal human rights of MAZI NNAMDI KANU but also
undermine the sovereignty of the British government.”

Giving notice to the Kenyan government of a legal action against
it, the group said “we shall be heading to the International
Criminal Court to rectify the injustice done as it is trite law
that injustice to one is injustice to all. We are also by this
medium informing the Nigerian government that they have 48 hours to
return MAZI NNAMDI KANU to the United Kingdom and if he has any
charges to answer to, they should as a nation that is governed by
the constitution, pass through the legal means of filing an
extradiction notice as failure to do so, we shall not hesitate to
term this an a declaration of war on not only on MAZI NNAMDI KANU
and IPOB but also on all IGBOS generally, and this we shall
vehemently resist with all apparatus of law available at our
disposal.”

The lawyers warned that “no bodily harm whatsoever must be done
to MAZI NNAMDI KANU to avoid a total breakdown of law and other in
the fast crumbling entity called Nigeria.”
