IPOB reacts as Kenyan court declares Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest, extradition illegal.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has hailed a landmark judgment by the High Court of Kenya, which declared the abduction and forced transfer of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021 as unlawful and unconstitutional.

In a ruling delivered on 24 June 2025, Justice E.C. Mwita condemned both the Kenyan and Nigerian governments for gross violations of Kanu’s fundamental rights and awarded him KSh10 million in compensatory damages.

Justice Mwita, in his judgment, stated, “The government of Kenya violated the Constitution and Mr. Nnamdi Kanu’s rights and fundamental freedoms. Having entered Kenya lawfully, he was subject to the protection offered by the Constitution of Kenya 2010. However, he was abducted, kept in solitary confinement, tortured, and forcibly removed from Kenya without following the law.”

The court further declared that Kanu’s abduction, incommunicado detention, and denial of food, water, and medication were flagrant breaches of his constitutional rights. It also ruled that his forcible removal to Nigeria violated Kenyan laws and international legal standards.

KENYAN COURT DECLARES
TRANSFER OF NNAMDI KANU TO NIGERIA ILLEGAL.

A High Court in Nairobi has ruled that the transfer of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021 was illegal and unconstitutional.

Delivering judgment, Justice E.C. Mwita declared that the Kenyan government violated Kanu’s fundamental rights during the process that led to his rendition.

“Having considered the pleadings and arguments by parties, the decisions relied on, the Constitution and the law, I come to the following conclusions,” the judge stated.

“First, the government of Kenya violated the Constitution and Mr. Nnamdi Kanu’s rights and fundamental freedoms. Having entered Kenya lawfully, he was subject to the protection offered by the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the government of Kenya had an obligation to uphold and protect his rights and fundamental freedoms.

“Mr. Nnamdi was however abducted, kept in solitude confinement, tortured and denied food and medication, a breach of basic rights. He was chained, humiliated, ridiculed and held in contempt and later forcibly removed from Kenya without following the law in violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms for which the government of Kenya is liable,” Justice Mwita ruled.

The court awarded Kanu general damages of 10 million Kenyan shillings as compensation for the rights violations.

“Based on the above conclusions, the court makes the following declarations and orders it considers appropriate;

“A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu Kanu; holding him in incommunicado confinement, torturing him and denying him food, water, medication and other basic necessities was a violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms.

“A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction and subsequent forcible removal of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria was in violation of the laws of Kenya; his rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of movement and security of the person guaranteed by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and, therefore, unconstitutional and illegal.

“An order for compensation is hereby issued awarding Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu general damages of Kshs 10,000,000 against the Attorney General of Kenya on behalf of the government of Kenya for the violation of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu’s constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms,” the judge added.

The ruling follows Kanu’s legal challenge over his arrest and transfer from Kenya to Nigeria without due process.

Justice Under Siege: IPOB Lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor Condemns Abduction Of Bayelsa High Court Judge, Security Breakdown

Court Fixes Date To Pass Judgement On Mohbad Father’s Bid To Indict Naira Marley, Sam Larry.

The Lagos State High Court, located in Ikeja, has scheduled July 2, 2025, for a ruling on a legal application submitted by Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely recognised as Mohbad.
This application seeks to challenge the legal opinion provided by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), which cleared music promoter Sam Larry and artist Naira Marley of any alleged involvement in his son’s death.

Justice Taiwo Olatokun established this date after considering arguments presented by Wahab Shittu (SAN), who represents Mr. Aloba, and Joke Amachree, who acted on behalf of the Lagos State Attorney General and the DPP, both of whom are named as respondents in this case.

He contended that the decision to release the suspects was hasty and interfered with the ongoing Coroner’s Inquest into the events surrounding Mohbad’s death.

Shittu asserted that the DPP’s actions effectively compromised the inquest, which has not yet completed its investigation.

He pointed out that individuals referenced and implicated during the inquest were released prior to the final conclusions of the inquest.

In a counter-affidavit submitted on June 24, Ayinde Ibrahim, a legal officer from the DPP’s office, argued that the suspects were not acquitted but were simply discharged based on the evidence available at that time.

He explained that their release was a result of the police submitting the case file to the DPP for legal assessment.

Ibrahim further clarified that officials from the DPP’s office were involved in the coroner’s hearings, and the legal advice was provided in accordance with standard legal protocols.
