Ozekhome said the lower court glossed over the case placed before it .
The lead counsel of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), has said the acquittal of his client is too complex for human understanding.
SaharaReporters reported earlier that the Appeal Court, Abuja Division on Thursday discharged and acquitted Kanu on all seven counts charge bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony brought against him by the Federal Government.
But reacting to the judgment, Ozekhome said the lower court glossed over the case placed before it on the “kidnap, torture and extraordinary rendition” of Kanu from Kenya back to Nigeria which the Appellate Court Thursday discharged him.
Ozekhome, who spoke after praying, thanking “Jesus for getting Nnamdi Kanu out” on his knees together with his team of lawyers, said Kanu’s release by the Court of Appeal was “one of those things that you can say (are) ineffable, indescribable, it is only God that can fathom it, because its depth and breadth, its plenitude and amplitude are too wide, too complex for any human understanding."
He said, “Nnamdi Kanu was today discharged of all the remaining seven charges, which…were retained by the Federal High Court. Kidnap, torture and extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya back to Nigeria on the 26th of June, 2021, the lower court glossed over it."
Meanwhile, reactions and jubilations have greeted the judgment in the South-East as people thanked God for his mercies and expressed optimism that the sit-at-home would now end and the shattered economy of the South-East would rebound.
