Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said that the pro-Biafra agitator is “technically still in Kenya.”

Ejimakor explained that Kanu travelled to Kenya on a British passport, hence should have been expelled to the same country and not Nigeria.

Kanu was recently rearrested and repatriated to Nigeria from an undisclosed African country.

The country in question is believed to be Kenya, though the Nigerian government is silent on where Kanu was rearrested from.

Kanu was first arrested in 2017 by the Nigerian government for his agitation for the actualisation of Biafra.

He was, however, granted bail in the same year by Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court.

Following the court’s decision, the IPOB leader jumped bail and fled Nigeria to London. But his lawyer argued that he did not jump bail.

Ejimakor had insisted that Kanu fled Nigeria due to the actions of the Federal Government.

He had claimed that the IPOB leader left Nigeria due to fear of being killed after the Nigerian Army invaded his residence.

However, Ejimakor pointed out that expelling the IPOB leader to Nigeria was against international law.

Ejimakor, in a statement he signed entitled: “Kanu is technically still in Kenya,” said it was dubious that Kenya attributed Kanu’s citizenship to Nigeria because it’s his place of birth.

The statement reads partly: “Yes, that’s right: In the purest interpretations of foreign relations law, as applied to Britain and Kenya, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is technically speaking, still in Kenya. How? Dual national or not, Kanu departed Britain and travelled to Kenya as a British citizen and Kenya admitted him as such. That’s the starting point.

“So, after his admission to Kenya, it happens that Kanu must be expelled from Kenyan soil (with or without due process), the next natural and legal thing to do is for Kenya to expel him to Britain, not Nigeria. Choosing to expel him to Nigeria means that he could’ve also been expelled to any other country than Nigeria.

“Why? Because Kanu presented himself to Kenya as a British citizen, not a Nigerian citizen or even a dual citizen. In international law, it was clearly a three-way immigration contract between Kanu, Britain and Kenya. Nigeria was not a party to it; and Nigeria was never in reckoning at the Kenyan port of entry when Kanu presented himself for admission. Lawyers call it the privity of contract.
“Counting from the time of Kanu’s abduction to the infamous rendition, Kenya sighted no other travel document that could’ve, in addition to Britain, attributed another nationality to Kanu, including that of Nigeria. Or, was Kanu admitted to Kenya on a Nigerian birth certificate?

“So, it’s dubious that Kenya attributed Nigerian citizenship to Kanu because sponsors of the abduction and rendition presumably told Kenya that Kanu was born in Nigeria.”

Meanwhile, Kanu could not appear in court during his last court hearing.

This was due to the inability of the Department of State Services, DSS, to produce him.

DSS blamed it on logistics.

The truth is that until appropriate extradition steps has been taken, Nnamdi Kanu is technically still in Kenya.

This is law we are talking about and not some lizard grilling business.

Ademola Adeleke would have been the governor of Osun State today if a certain Justice Peter Obiora, who delivered the lead judgment, wasn’t absent from court for one day.

The Supreme Court argued that every process of law must be upright as a single misstep vitiates the whole process.

But I expect zombies to still foam in the mouth and convulse in their ignorance.

The Nigerian govt can’t be engaging in legal prosecution while standing on illegality.

When they are ready for a truly legal process, they will take Nnamdi Kanu back to Kenya, file an extradition process. At the Kenyan court, it will now be decided where he should be extradited to.

Zombies will be protecting Igboho while they want Kanu crucified. Such equivocation!
