The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, revealed that the Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and brought back to Nigeria on Sunday.

He said the arrest followed a collaborative effort between security agencies in Nigeria and the Interpol.

Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja has remanded Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Service (DSS).

Justice Nyako made the ruling on Tuesday, when Kanu was presented in the court for the continuation of his trial.

Moreso, the arrest has been confirmed by IPOB lawyer and Nnamdi Kanu Lead Council, Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, in a press statement released today, which reads as follows:

We have just confirmed through a correspondence from the Federal High Court Abuja, about the arrest and the extradition of my Client- Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian State.

It is to be noted therefore, that no matter the gravity of the offences or charge preferred against him, Section 36(5) of the Constitution still presumes him innocent of the allegation.

He was brought before the Federal High Court No 2 Abuja today on an Eleven count charge, though without our knowledge.

As it is in the public domain, the matter has been consequently adjourned to the 26th Day of July 2021, for Continuation of Trial.

The legal team ably led by my humble self will meet them in court on this date.

We insist that he must be given a fair hearing/trial which is his constitutionally protected right.

His safety as also guaranteed under our law throughout the trial and afterwards, should be enforced.

Our fortified Legal team will be meeting to agree on strategies within the context of the Charge and disposition of the Court.

Await further update from us as we progress.

Thank you and remain blessed.

Signed

Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor

IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu lead Counsel.
