The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday accused Nigerian courts of aiding and abetting what it described as the Federal Government’s “illegal” detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, since 2021.
IPOB said the courts secretly tried Kanu and remanded him in custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, rather than the Nigerian Correctional Centre.
The group noted that the courts, in collusion with the Nigerian Government, flouted the provisions of the law by allowing Kanu’s trial to continue beyond 90 days.
In a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB stressed that its leader has no case with DSS hence should not be in the custody of the secret police.
Parts of the statement read: “The courts are aiding and abetting the Federal Government’s illegal detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
