A High Court in Nairobi, Kenya, has declared the abduction and detention of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, along with his subsequent extradition to Nigeria in June 2021, as unlawful and illegal.
Delivering judgment, Justice E.C. Mwita held that the actions of both the Kenyan and Nigerian governments amounted to gross violations of Kanu’s fundamental human rights as protected by their respective constitutions.
The court also awarded Kanu 10 million Kenyan shillings which is equivalent to N120 million Naira in compensatory damages against the Kenyan government for its role in the unlawful abduction and rendition.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has hailed the judgment as a landmark victory, saying it vindicates the group’s long-standing position since what it described as the sham and farcical trial of its leader in Nigeria.
