Nnamdi Kanu has filed a new suit against the Federal Government, asking the court to terminate his ongoing trial, citing multiple violations of law and due process.
The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has filed a fresh suit against the Federal Government, seeking permanent termination of his continued trial.
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, Kanu argued that his prosecution was invalid, citing four “fatal defects” — contempt of appellate authority, failure to take judicial notice of repeal, denial of fair hearing, and reliance on forgery.
“These four defects… strike at the root of jurisdiction,” the suit stated.
He maintained that the Federal Government remained “in flagrant contempt of a subsisting appellate judgment” which had previously discharged him.
Kanu also alleged that he had been denied fair hearing after being held in solitary confinement for four years and given only three hours of monitored consultation before his defence.
He further described the court’s reliance on a “forged medical report” as judicial perversity and urged the court to void the proceedings.
