Kenya Arrest: Buhari Govt Loses Against Nnamdi Kanu In Court

On Wednesday, the Nigerian government was unsuccessful in its attempt to move the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu’s extraordinary rendition lawsuit from Umuahia to Abuja.

In Umuahia, Abia State, the Federal High Court argued that it had the authority to hear the case and render a decision.

Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s Special Counsel, revealed this in a tweet while reiterating that the case was still pending.

He wrote: “Breaking: Federal High Court, Umuahia denies the Federal Government’s application to transfer the ‘extraordinary rendition’ suit to Abuja, and rules that Umuahia has the jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit”. Reading of the rest of the judgment continues.”

The Special Counsel was challenging Kanu’s abduction and extraordinary rendition from Kenya.

He is, among other things, praying the court to order his return to Kenya, where he was abducted or UK, his country of abode.
