‘Rights violation’: Malami asks court for more time to file processes in Kanu’s suit against FG

The federal government and the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) have asked the high court of Abia state for an extension of time to enable them file processes in the suit instituted by Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), had filed a suit marked HIH/FR14/2021 against the federal government of Nigeria, attorney-general of the federation, chief of army staff, inspector-general of police, director-general of the Department of State Services and three others for allegedly violating his fundamental human rights.

Kanu, through his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, asked the court to compel the respondents to pay him N5 billion in damages as monetary compensation for the “physical, mental, emotional, psychological and other damages” he allegedly suffered.

The case was adjourned till October 7 after the federal government & AGF failed to make appearances or file processes in court. As at September 21, only two out of the eight respondents had filed processes in the matter – the DSS in Abuja and Abia.

On October 7, however, the case could not be heard as the case file which was returned by K.C.J. Okereke, the vacation judge, was yet to be reassigned to another judge.

In a fresh application dated September 29, but filed on October 6, the AGF and federal government are asking the court for an extension of time to serve their counter-affidavits and other processes on parties in the suit.

While admitting that they are out of the time stipulated by law, the respondents said it was due to “circumstances beyond their control”. They prayed the court to use its discretion in the interest of a fair hearing.

But Ejimakor opposed the application, and cited statutory and judicial authorities that disallowed inordinate delays in hearing cases of fundamental rights, especially in situations where the applicant is in detention.

“It beggars belief that it took the federal republic of Nigeria and the office of the attorney-general of the federation with presumably thousands of lawyers almost one month after being served a fundamental rights suit to prepare a counter-affidavit,” he said.

For how many months?

Buhari, his court and his AGF knows that they scored an own goal. They know very well that they can't keep MNK in their custody forever without bringing him to court. They know they've got nothing on him that's why they are postponing their shame which must surely come when the time is due.

So they know there is something called fair hearing while they held sway with utter impunity and lawlessness? This is what happens when you don't have a prima facie case against the accuse but resort to delay tactics thereby abusing court processes.

This clueless and morbidly corrupt AGF is just wasting time because he subserves a tyrannical government.
The man is just too dull to even be a LG chairman.At the right side of his brain there is nothing left and at the left side there is nothing right.

Useless government!
Whenever they are presented with an opportunity to be civil they will always choose to be uncivilized. That’s why Hush puppi’s tailor / super cop has not been sent to USA to answer for his crimes (the world is still watching oh! For this government to even pretend to be against corruption)
Same reason why they killed the youths at lekki toll all they asked for was to be heard! But Buhari’s way of communication is bloodshed and major civil rights violations. I swear we need to give our entertainers huge props for still making the world see light in Nigeria after the damage Buhari alone has done.

Meet that man in court in the interest of your acclaimed justice.
Malami wants to set up South East for more crisis, he is behind Kanu and Sunday Igboho ordeals while supporting Fulani herdsmen terrorists.
He couldn't even pay the salaries of staff of Federal Ministry of Justice due to over spending on frivolities used as conduit to steal money.
This country is on auto pilot undecided

We the tax payers should not allow people like Malami to take us all for a ride, the federal government employs thousands of lawyers almost doing nothing because cases are not assigned to them due to political interference and it shows the level of poor leadership not delegating responsibilities

This is what you get when illiterates are in power.
The worst man to go into a battle with is a man who is more intelligent, exposed and wiser than you.

Trust me, Buhari played into the hands of Kanu, MNK set a trap for these mofos and they stupidly fell for it, now their hands are tied and they don't know what to do.

Igbos won't back down, never.
