A group of Igbo lawyers resident in the United Kingdom has described as
illegal the arrest and detention of Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian government.



The legal practitioners under
the auspices of the Coalition
of Igbo-British Lawyers
condemned the Kenyan
Government for arresting the
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, who is also a
British citizen, and handing
him over to the Nigerian
government.


The group revealed this in a
statement signed by Barrister
Ebuka Okoroafor and made
available to SaharaReporters
on Wednesday.


According to the lawyers, the
Kenyan government has
violated the human rights of
Kanu, who possesses both
Nigerian and British
passports.


“Coalition of Igbo-British
lawyers condemns the illegal
detention and subsequent
handing over of the leader of
the Indigenous People of
Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to the Nigerian government by
the Kenyan Government.


“The Coalition of Igbo-British
lawyers in a statement issued
and signed by Attorney E.R
Okoroafor on the 30th of June,
2021 at his Glasgow residence in the United Kingdom has condemned the illegal and archaic manner in which the Kenyan Government has acted in the illegal detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


“It also condemned the
subsequent handing him over
to the Nigerian Government
without any due process.


“It is worthy of note to
mention that Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu entered Kenya with his
British passport, and the
Kenyan government is fully
aware of his citizenship status but still went ahead to
perpetrate their illegal act
which does not only breach
the personal human rights of
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu but also
undermine the sovereignty of the British government,” the
statement read in part.


The group also disclosed that
the illegal action will be
addressed at the
International Criminal Court,
in Hague, The Netherlands,
while asking the Nigerian government to convey Kanu
back to the United Kingdom
before the expiration of 48
hours.



The Igbo British lawyers also
stated that the failure of the
Nigerian government to do so
has declared war on Kanu,
IPOB, and the entire Igbos.


“While this serves as a pre-
action notice to the Kenyan
Government as we shall be
heading to the International
Criminal Court to rectify the
injustice done as it is trite law that injustice to one is
injustice to all, we are also by
this medium informing the
Nigerian Government that
they have 48 hours to return
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to the United Kingdom.


“And if he has any charges to
answer to, they should as a
nation that is governed by the
constitution, pass through the
legal means of filing an
extradition notice as failure to do so, we shall not hesitate
to term this a declaration of
war on not only Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu and IPOB but all Igbos
generally, and this we shall
vehemently resist with all apparatus of law available at
our disposal.



“While all this is being done,
the Nigerian government is
also being warned that no
bodily harm whatsoever must
be done to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
to avoid a total breakdown of law and order in the fast
crumbling entity called
Nigeria,” the Igbo–British
lawyers added in the
statement.

We Igbos are Solidly behind Kanu.

Kanu must not be touched...

I have said it before and I will say it again, let no body rejoice or be sad over Nnamdi Kanu arrest yet. The coming days and weeks will unfold alot of things. But I am just feeling that the Nigeria government is bitting more than what they can shew. You ban America twitter, now you unlawfully arrest UK citizen. What do I know self

Why are you people so much obsessed about the British citizenship of Nnamdi Kanu, because he is a carrying a British passport so when he undermines the sovereignty of another country he can't be brought to justice, i don't know the way some people reason

Ndigbo should start foundations that funds very bright Igbo students into universities to study important STEM courses like nuclear science, robotic science, warfare technology that will make their enemies shudder with shock when applied and experimented on Igbo-haters.

We'll go into extinction if we keep playing to the gallery.

They not zoogerians you just can't kidnapp any of them and get away with it .
Cow government kidnapping people off the streets is not a wise thing to do.

He came to Kenya with a British passport, since his Nigeria passport he obtained in 2013 had expired according to Attorney General Abubakar Malumi. It was not until January 15, 2019 Nigerian passports had 10 year validity, they were previously only valid for 5 years.

Under international law, the Nigerian and Kenyan government should have notified the British they plan to extradite one of their citizens who had since renounced his Nigerian nationality.

They should have followed the proper legal channels and not kidnap him, like Major General Mohammadu Buhari attempted to do to Umaru Dikko in the 80's.

I just hope Nigeria government will not regret their actions against igbo people

Fulani oligarchy and there sympathizers only excel in nigeria through quota system,corrupt systems, a country were a northerner needs only 50 as cut of mark in jamb and a southerner needs 180 ,Ghana is celebrating the new Toyota plant, and al-qaeda peoples Congress, led by Fulani and terrorists sympathizers re celebrating mnks arrest.

Ibo-british charge and bail lawyer's. Watery beans awaits you.

Nothing to add or remove

Nothing must happen to Nnamdi Kanu!

50 as a cut of mark? That must be in the south east where they produce graduates that are so dumb that even NYSC rejects them

Biko don't ever put Igbo and Kanu/IPOB in the same sentence.

Which one is against the Igbo?

Thousands of our people died because of that fool called Kanu.

He is selfish and reckless.

Biko umunne don't protest for Kanu.

Majority of police officers his unknown gunmen killed are our blood.


His unknown gunmen even beheaded our politician in Owerri just because the politician is in APC.

He released thousands of prisoners into the society without considering what actually put them in prison.

These fools are still in the denial stage

Nairaland is soo much infested with Igbo developers, since jubril whisked away their diLector, na xoxo senseless yarns everywhere.

The Fulani failderal government cannot do anything to kanu, ipob will elect a new strategic leader that will even make the agitation bigger. Awon dindirin oponu

Other than issuing meaningless statement, what else can they do?

We're watching

Nonsense laws were made to protect criminals, the picture you attached is the reason my father loved Buhari.
I'm also loving him at the moment, 200 criminals have just been killed in Niger state,
this is the Buhari I have been waiting for.

Web2020:
I have said it before and I will say it again, let no body rejoice or be sad over Nnamdi Kanu arrest yet. The coming days and weeks will unfold alot of things. But I am just feeling that the Nigeria government is bitting more than what they can shew. You ban America twitter, now you unlawfully arrest UK citizen. What do I know self

Look at this unknown gunmen supporter ,Nnamdi KANU is a terror leader ,he will face the music in Court. British citizen our foot. Why didn't he face his british and instigate crisis there ? Why was he instigating crisis in Nigeria? He is half Nigeria so Nigeria govt is dealing with him within that half.

limeta:




They not zoogerians you just can't kidnapp any of them and get away with it .
Cow government kidnapping people off the streets is not a wise thing to do.

You forgot that Kanu was ordering the killing and kidnapping of Nigerians, including security agents and burning of government and private properties.

Is that right?
