The Federal Government of Nigeria has totally run out of options, and the only valid OPTION available to them now is to obey the Order made by a very Superior Court of record and immediately free Onyendu

365Daily – The legal team of detained leader of the the Indegenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, led by Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN said it will pursue the total compliance of the Federal Government on the Court of Appeal judgment, which discharged their client last Thursday, saying they have served the judgment on the Attorney General of the Federation – Abubakar Malami SAN, and the Director General of the State Security Service (DSS).
According to a statement signed by the IPOB’s lead counsel, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, they were at the DSS headquarters on Monday, October 17, 2022, where they equally delivered a copy of the court judgment to Kanu. He said the IPOB’s leader could not hold his joy and immense gratitude to the team.
“The Court Order must be obeyed whether they like it or not. No criminal charge of any form can be filed against Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu again, and no indictment of any nature can be taken up against him. We have won them hands-down.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria has totally run out of options, and the only valid OPTION available to them now is to obey the Order made by a very Superior Court of record and immediately free Onyendu. The time is now, and it is irreversible!” Ejiofor said.
He added that the team had a fruitful meeting with Kanu, “We have just left the DSS Headquarters, Abuja, after our fruitful meeting/engagement with our ever resolute, indefatigable, erudite, and uncompromising Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kamanu Ozuzu Kanu.
“Onyendu was exceedingly overjoyed with the news of the erudite judgment of the Court of Appeal, a copy of which was also made available to Onyendu. Onyendu could not hold his joy and immense gratitude to our legal team, ably led by the man of the letters – Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN”.
The legal team discribed the continous detaintion of Kanu, even after the judgment of the Court of Appeal under reference, as gravely illegal and unconstitutional as there is nothing whatsoever, legalising the further detention.
“Unfortunately, the breach of Onyendu’s Fundamental Rights by the autocratic Government of Nigeria has continued unabated till now, but, be assured, UmuChineke, and the entire world that we are aggressively pursuing total compliance with this Court Order within every permissible legal precinct and shall keep everyone updated”.
