 A federal high court sitting in Umuah here, Abia State, has ordered the federal government to return the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Aipop and Nambikanu to Kenya, where he was extradited to Nigeria from in June 2021. Justice E. N. Anyadike insisted that the extradition of Kano from Kenya without recourse to the legal process was a frequent abuse of his fundamental human rights. The judge held that the respondent failed to disprove the claims of the applicant that he was arrested, blindfolded, tortured and chained to the ground for eight days in Kenya before his extradition to Nigeria. The court also ordered the government to pay Kano 500 million Naira as damages for his illegal abduction and violation of his fundamental human rights. Kano, through his special counsel, Aloi Ejimako, had approached the court challenging his extradition from Kenya on June 19, 2022. We asked the court to restore Nambikanu to the status quo antebellum, to his status as of June 19, 2021 and that prayer was granted. What it means is that the government is not required to take steps to restore Nambikanu to Kenya or if they wish to his country of second nationality which is the United Kingdom. And then the next most important relief as far as we are concerned is halting his prosecution. We are happy with the outcome and we believe that this judgment today has strengthened the previous judgment or the court will appeal on the 19th of the 13th of October. And of course the judgment of Abia State High Court of January, which continues to be of overriding importance because that very judgment implicitly held that Nambikanu never jumped bell which is the mantra the federal government has been known to be, you know, flying around.
