Igboayaka noted that within the framework of the law, the Nigerian government has only two options regarding Kanu’s case, which are to either release him unconditionally or return him to Kenya and follow proper legal process to extradite to Nigeria if they insist on putting him to trial.
Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has said the detained leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is facing the most fundamental human rights violation in the world following his continued detention by the Nigerian government.
The OYC said this in a statement issued by its National President General, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, who said the Council had called on President Bola Tinubu’s administration to withdraw the suit against Kanu and grant him unconditional release.
Igboayaka said, “It's obvious that the leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is facing the most violation of human fundamental rights in the world today.
“Following the Illegal arrest of Nnamdi Kanu by the federal government of Nigeria and his incarceration in DSS dungeon since 2021, there's no well-known human being on earth that his right has been deliberately violated more than Nnamdi Kanu.
“Because of Nnamdi Kanu Justice Binta Nyako has turned Nigeria Court into a theater of dramatic exhibition and making a mockery of Nigeria Court and projecting Nigeria as a Banana Republic or Jungle State.
“Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has watched with keen interest and followed the court proceedings of Nnamdi Kanu and arrived at the following observations; that Nnamdi Kanu illegal arrest and continuous detention from President Mohammadu Buhari ruthless administration to president Bola Ahmed Tinubu undemocratic impunity government is a conspiracy theory from the British government using her ally's Fulani/Hausa and Yoruba to subjugate Ndigbo.
“That Nnamdi Kanu prosecution is a pure tribal victimization, shred chronic hatred, oppressiveness and ethnic cleansing and both his court hearing/trial lack merit in any court of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria.
“That DSS insisting that Nnamdi Kanu's legal team led by Aloy Ejimakor Esq must meet with him separately against the judicial pronouncement, disobeying her own court is a sign of executive impunity and rascality of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led federal government.
“That the denial of DSS for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to have a private time with his Legal team on 14th June 2024 is their own attempt to hinder even the Illegal trial, thereby preventing Kanu's legal team to prepare for hearing/trial commencement on 19th/20th June 2024. By so doing, DSS have canceled the upcoming court case scheduled to hold on 19th/20th June 2024.
“That Justice Binta Nyako reluctant to prosecute the Director of DSS for contempt of court has made herself a destroying tool of legal proceedings, and exposing Nigeria as a threat to human fundamental rights in the world.
“That the leaders of Igbo extraction ranking from the highest political office of Nigeria from Southeast, Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, the leader of Ndigbo under the aegis of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Engr Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Gov. Hope Uzodimma, Gov Peter Mba, Gov. Charles Soludo, Gov. Alex Chioma Otti and Gov. Francis Nwifuru must now confront the Federal Government of Nigeria before June 19th/20th of the said Illegal hearing/trial to seal his release immediately.”
The group called on the “Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Engr Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Gov. Hope Uzodimma, Gov Peter Mba, Gov. Charles Soludo, Gov. Alex Chioma Otti and Gov. Francis Nwifuru to know that the way Nnamdi Kanu was abducted and smuggled to Nigeria, there's no window of any court in Nigeria to commence trial, for such trial by Justice Binta Nyako will lead to legal somersault of Nigeria to the diplomatic treaty they signed with Kenya”.
Igboayaka noted that within the framework of the law, the Nigerian government has only two options regarding Kanu’s case, which are to either release him unconditionally or return him to Kenya and follow proper legal process to extradite to Nigeria if they insist on putting him to trial.
He said, “That the continuous incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu and influencing/interfering of its judgement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through the AGF is a direct provocation against the new generation of Igbo extraction who never saw the Genocide against the Igbos in 1966-1970, and such tribal victimization against Nnamdi Kanu because he's an Igbo man is an empirical evidence to over 50 million new generation of Igbo extraction to keep insisting on the actualization State of Biafra.
“At this juncture, the federal government of Nigeria must realize that there are millions of the likes of Nnamdi Kanu in Alaigbo who are getting provoked every day by the unjust and wicked treatment against Nnamdi Kanu and Ndigbo at large.
“The Federal Government should know that the release of Nnamdi Kanu is the beginning of wisdom to avoid raising more of the likes of Nnamdi Kanu in Igbo land.”
