 A high court in Abia State has ordered the federal government to pay the sum of one billion nara to the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Namdikano, and also issue a letter of apology to him, stating that the federal government has violated the IPOP leader's fundamental rights. The court also recommended a political solution to the agitation for the restoration of the defunct Biafra Republic, championed by IPOP. That by the grace of God, by the time the judge calmly, dispassionately examine the step-by-step destruction of these camps, then, like I submitted in court, she will go to the next stage, which is to grant us our prayer too. And our prayer too is that there be no valid legal counts in the charge to defend, she should dismiss all of them and set free, that is, to charge and acquit Namdikano of any offences. What the prosecution tried to do was to insist that because today was set down for hearing that the trial must go on, notwithstanding the pendency of this application, which we have tried, and not also withstanding the pendency of the second application, the 26-page motion for bail, and I pointed out to the court that that was not the law, that is not the law, that the Supreme Court has held in several cases. Meanwhile, Namdikano has pleaded not guilty to the 15 charges bordering on treasonable felony and terrorism preferred against him by the federal government. The prosecution counsel, Labrera Magaci, despite Kano's stand, told the court that he was ready to proceed with the trial, adding that he brought two witnesses to testify against the defendant. The court subsequently adjourned till 16th of February to hear the pending application.
