The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has condemned the verdict of Nigeria Supreme Court on the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the continuation of the trial of Mazi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over terrorism charges.
Though the apex court declared Mr Kanu’s forcible repatriation from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021 illegal, it held that there is no Nigerian law that prohibits “illegally obtained evidence for the trial of a defendant.”
However, MASSOB in a press statement by it’s leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu and made available to Journalist101, described the ruling of the Supreme Court as “an open rape of Justice and rule of law.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was earlier discharged by Nigeria Federal high court and Appeal Court, it was expected that the Apex court will uphold the integrity of Nigeria judiciary but it woefully and sadly failed to redeem the battered image of the Nigeria judiciary which was messed up during the presidential election cases.
“The people of Biafra and Nigeria have deepened their lost hope in Nigeria judiciary. Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped in Kenya and extradited illegally by Nigeria state.
“The latest judicial prosecution of Ndigbo in Nigeria will never soften or demoralised our unshakable and indomitable spirits for Biafra actualization and restoration.”
