OPEN LETTER TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
By: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
Greetings to all men and women of goodwill in Nigeria and elsewhere in the world.
I have been compelled by the events of the past few days to take the unusual step of writing this Open Letter for the singular purpose of calling the attention of the general public to the serial executive and judicial fraud being perpetrated against me since my extraordinary rendition in 2021. The details are as follows:
1, In a judgment entered on 1st March 2017, the Federal High Court Abuja ruled that the “IPOB is not an unlawful group”. At the time, it received widespread publicity which can be verified from: https://t.co/3zLtjtP68v. This landmark ruling (made by the court before it turned unjust) emanated in a criminal proceedings that required “proof beyond reasonable doubt” and in which the federal government and my humble self presented our respective cases. Alas! Instead of the federal government to go on appeal as the law mandated (if they are dissatisfied with the judgment), the former Attorney-General (Abubakar Malami) went behind closed doors with a letter signed by late Abba Kyari and got IPOB proscribed/tagged a terrorist group in an ex parte proceedings conducted without notice to me or to the IPOB. This abominable incident was the earliest sign yet that the government and its judiciary have struck an unholy and fraudulent alliance to deny me my rights and thereby imperil the lives and liberty of millions who identity with IPOB.
2. On 26th October 2022, a Federal High Court declared my extraordinary rendition and detention as unconstitutional, stating that: “the manner of arrest and detention of the Applicant (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) in Kenya, his continued detention in Abuja, his subjection to physical and mental trauma by the Respondents, the inhuman and degrading treatment meted out to the Applicant amounts to a brazen violation of the Applicant's fundamental right to dignity of his person and threat to life under Section 34 (1)(a) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended)”. The Court further ordered the federal government to apologize to me and pay me compensation. In a responsible and well-ordered society, run by a responsible government, this judgment is sufficient to have ended my lengthy detention and encourage the federal government to constructively engage me on the issue of the self-determination agitation that triggered this whole saga.
3. Pedal back to 13th October 2022 when the Court of Appeal held that: “The Courts must never shy away from calling the executive to order when they resort to acts of "executive lawlessness". The duty of the Courts is to maintain a balance between ensuring that law and order is obeyed and the protection of the individual from oppressive actions by the executive. By the forcible abduction and extraordinary rendition of the Appellant (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) from Kenya to this country on the 27th day of June 2021, in violation of international and state laws, the lower Court or indeed any Court in this country is divested of jurisdiction to entertain charges against the Appellant”. Despite the clarity of this judgment and its comportment with reason, the federal government refused to release me from detention while it went behind closed doors and connived with three other justices of the court of appeal who fraudulently and swiftly sat on appeal over the judgment and practically destroyed it by issuing what they termed “a stay of execution”. One may then ask: Is it not abominable for a court to stay a judgment the government already disobeyed? In a plethora of cases, the Supreme Court has held that anybody who disobeys a related court order cannot be given any judicial relief until such order is obeyed. This is a sound reasoning that applied to everybody but is fraudulently overlooked when it comes to my case.
A THREAD … Concluded in the next tweet.
UPDATE: Rising from today’s routine visitation with MAZI NNAMDI KANU, he instructed his Legal Team to issue the following statement:
“Eight years ago today, I lost my precious parents (Their Royal Majesties, Eze Sir Israel Okwu Kanu (JP) and Lolo Ugoeze Sally Nmeme Okwu Kanu). They sustained injurious trauma from which they never recovered from whilst 28 other innocent souls were killed just because the Nigerian Army without provocation launched a deadly assault at our royal home with the sole intention of killing me. Because I survived, they quickly tagged IPOB a terrorist group to cover up their horrendous crime and confuse the gullible which has persisted till date. The best tribute is to never forget what happened to them and all who fell in defense of freedom at our home. The Abuja-based murderers and their accomplices in Igboland that ordered this heinous cold-blooded massacre of these innocent souls are still peddling their lies against my legitimate right to freely agitate for Biafra as recognized by the laws of Nigeria.”
Signed:
MAZI NNAMDI KANU.
@abati1990 You are not saying the main issues affecting the country... Always backing issues that are not relevant. Check Rufai's tweet. And learn from him.. You can do better...
@mamatii001@ruffydfire Wonder why people are so wicked to themselves. U leave the truth and pursue evil.. Mr Rufai is telling the truth yet you people see evil and call it good... The last time I checked he is better than all of you covering evil.
@renoomokri There is nothing so special about the write up .. During the slave trade, some Yoruba were taken to south America (Brazil) while igbo were taken to North America(USA). That is why the black American (Igbo origin) are known to hv built USA.
My Biafran friends should know that I am committed to continue to lobby for the Biafran government, during this difficult time. The Biafran people should know I will never leave them. You stand by your friends when they are facing challenges, and H.E. Simon Ekpa is not only a client but a close friend.
I am also sending this as a signal to the Nigerian agents, some of whom have put out celebratory predictions that I will drop the Biafran government soon as a client in light of the recent circumstances. That will never happen--only in their fantasies. We will achieve the international recognition Biafra deserves, regardless of their efforts to stop us.
PRESS RELEASE
9TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2024
COMRADE JOE AJAERO: PRESIDENT OF THE NIGERIA LABOUR
CONGRESS (NLC) HAS BEEN DETAINED BY THE NIGERIAN
GOVERNMENT
This morning, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade
Joe Ajaero, was seized and whisked away by agents of the Nigerian State while
on his way to the United Kingdom on the invitation of the Trade Union
Congress (TUC) of Britain. Comrade Ajaero was set to attend and address the
global gathering of workers on behalf of Nigerian workers at the Congress of
the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in the UK, a platform where critical
discussions on workers' rights, social justice, and economic fairness are
discussed. We are yet to ascertain his whereabouts or his state of health as
all efforts we have made to get in touch with him have proved abortive.
We wish to categorically state that Comrade Ajaero has been detained without
any legal warrant or formal instrument. Joe Ajaero is not a fugitive. His
detention is therefore a brazen act of lawlessness and intimidation as he has
not been declared wanted by any law enforcement body. His detention is a
brazen act of intimidation and completely unjustified under the laws of our
nation. The mere contemplation of not just stopping a lawful citizen from
travelling but also sequestering his freedom is an affront to our democratic
and natural rights as a people and as workers.
This is an unmistakable demonstration of the height of lawlessness being
perpetuated by the Nigerian government and its agencies in their bid to
silence every voice of dissent and opposition in the country as the economic
policies of the government continues to afflict the people with monumental
suffering and hardship. Such actions are not only undemocratic but immoral
as well as a direct affront to the fundamental rights of citizens and
organizations to lawfully express their views and carry out their activities.
In light of this troubling development, the Congress puts all its affiliates, State
Councils, Civil society allies and all patriotic Nigerians on the highest state of
alert. The Congress will not stand idly by while the rights of its leaders and
members are trampled upon. Accordingly, we demand for the immediate and
unconditional release of comrade Joe Ajaero.
Furthermore, we call on the international community, human rights
organizations, and all advocates of democracy to take note of this rising wave
of authoritarianism in Nigeria. The world must bear witness to these assaults
on human dignity, civil liberties, and the rule of law.
The NLC remains resolute in its commitment to protecting workers' rights
and will not be cowed by the oppressive tactics of the state. Once again, we
demand the immediate and unconditional release of Comrade Joe Ajaero and
the cessation of all forms of harassment against labour leaders and the
Nigerian working class including innocent citizens who hold dissenting
opinions. We equally demand that the state frees all Nigerians languishing in
various prisons around the country for exercising their democratic rights to
protest in the #EndBadGovernance rallies around the country.
Finally, the Organs of the Congress are in a closed door meeting whose
outcome will be made available to the public.

When they claim he built Lagos, tell them that before 1999, most multinationals already had their head office or headquarters in Lagos, tell them that tallest building in Nigeria theNecom tower was already built and most skyscrapers on the Lagos Marina were already standing.
Govt hasn’t told us the price of the Presidential Jet till date, when an investigative journalist works hard to unravel it, They will be arrested for releasing state secrets, is this not another case of Gulag archipelago!
