‘STOP HIDING BEHIND ENDLESS ADJOURNMENTS, MEET US AT THE SUPREME COURT OR RELEASE OUR LEADER ~ IPOB TELLS FG.’

Summary:

1. We stated that the government has abandoned their appeal against Kanu avoiding diligent prosecution.

2. IPOB questions why the government is afraid to pursue a case they brought to the Supreme Court.

3. We criticize the Supreme Court for failing to fix a date for the hearing and accuse them of encouraging illegal detention.

4. IPOB also highlights the unconstitutional nature of Kanu’s continued detention and the unprecedented stay of execution granted by the Mallami constituted panel.

5. We argue that Kanu is the first person in history to remain in detention after being discharged by a competent court.

6. IPOB calls for the government to either prosecute their appeal or release Kanu.

Key Points:

1) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being illegally held in solitary confinement despite being discharged by a competent court.

2) The cancellation of the hearing at the Supreme Court indicates that the government is hiding behind an unconstitutional stay of execution.

3) Kanu’s continued detention goes against legal codes and is unprecedented.

4) The government’s abhorrence for Kanu is destroying the basic laws and safeguards in the Nigerian Constitution.

5) The government obtained a stay of execution within 8 days, but the appeal filed by the same government has not been heard for over a year.

6) The delay has also affected the appeal against the IPOB proscription, with the government refusing to come to court. IPOB calls for the government to either prosecute their appeal or set Kanu free.
