 The self-acclaimed leader of the prescribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPUB, Namdi Kano, is gaining support from the Igbo Lawyers Association, ILA, ahead of its July 26 trial. This association has also promised to mobilize support for Kano from lawyers in other parts of the world. Briefing the newsmen in Aba on Tuesday, Chairman of the Association, Chiefs Trucks Mooma, S.A.N., who was represented by Chief Upaero, condemned the illegal manor in which Kano was intercepted and brought to Nigeria from the green to the rain chambers. The Senate has condemned what is described as an unlawful encroachment and arrest of Nigerians by the authorities of the Republic of Benning Republic. The upper chamber has now directed four of its committees to work with the ministries of foreign affairs and justice, as well as the National Border Commission, to urgently check this.
