IPOB fumes, describes ruling to hold Nnamdi Kanu as ‘scripted comedy skit’

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday to remand its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to the high court, saying it is part of a plan to keep him imprisoned.

In a press release signed by the group’s Publicity Secretary, Mr Emma Powerful, IPOB said: “For the Supreme Court to move the case due for judgment back to a lower court is a scripted comedy skit to delay and deny Mazi Nnamdi Kanu justice.

It called on the international community to hold the Nigerian Supreme Court Justices responsible if any breakdown of order happens in Nigeria during this period.

“The biased and teleguided Supreme Court judgment against Mazi Nnamdi shows that Supreme Court Justices are colluding with the Nigerian government to perpetuate injustice against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.

“How can the Supreme Court Justices indirectly justify and endorse international kidnapping and extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu while pronouncing condemnation against the same act?

“Is Nigeria Supreme Court wired to operate outside the international laws that frown on extraordinary rendition? Or did the Supreme Court Justices just speak from both sides of their mouths?

“IPOB worldwide is notifying the international community that if any breakdown of order happens in Nigeria during this period, the Nigeria Supreme Court Justices should be held responsible.

“It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court Justices have turned themselves into a tool of oppression for the oppressors.”
