IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu,
has urged the British Government to intervene in his case by compelling
President Muhammadu Buhari to release him from prison.
Kanu insisted that he is a victim of gross human rights violation
and miscarriage of justice. In a letter dated March 24 and addressed to
the British High Commissioner in Abuja by his lawyer said that the
President Buhari-led administration has violently abused his
fundamental human rights through his prolonged detention in prison
custody.
Kanu said he was ready to answer to the charge against him but
said that he does not believe the Nigerian government would afford him
fair trial following comments made by the president in recent times.
Kanu said as a British citizen, his continuous detention in custody
violates his fundamental human rights.
Kanu who is facing treason charge alongside two other pro-Biafra
agitators, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, approached the British
government through his lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
