Let this sink in: MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s unparalleled leadership is a big umbrella that can accommodate everybody/group that is committed to the Igbo/Biafran cause. And anybody capitalizing on his unjust imprisonment to downgrade him should know that it’s actually upgrading him. Yes!

@AloyEjimakor @officialABAT @femigbaja Are they playing politics with the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or what?

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

@OlusanyaIge This has to happen. It's as simple as that. There are 200 million of us and a few thousand US puppets eating our futures.

We will kill them, or they will kill us.

It is that simple.

I never believed that a day will come when I will be commending Daily Trust, one of the foremost anti-#MNK, anti-IPOB media houses in Nigeria, but here we are. Let me therefore, on behalf of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, commend the editor & editorial board of Daily Trust for this front page banner headline. Yesterday, another prestigious Arewa newspaper, The Leadership devoted its editorial page to calling for the release of #MNK. Today the quintessential mouthpiece of the North (Daily Trust) has more or less done the same. We are getting there. I also salute the courage of The Guardian, SaharaReporters, Vanguard & SUN editorial boards for leading the way in the clarion call to #FreeMNK. They set the ball rolling.

At a time when our country is trending on the global media for facing its worst economic crisis, marked by high inflation, a falling currency, and widespread poverty, the government's plan to buy new presidential jets demonstrates extreme insensitivity to citizens' struggles.

“A few weeks ago, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu asked us to get a private consultant physician to come and review his medical records and personally handle his health.

“Based on that, we were able to get an independent consultant physician.

“On Thursday, March 28, 2024, I took the doctor to the DSS Headquarters in Abuja. A few minutes upon our arrival in the office of the Deputy Director of Investigation of DSS, MNK was brought out of the detention room.

“The Deputy Director asked Barr. I. A. Awo, the counsel to DSS, to introduce the matter; he simply said that it was in line with the court order, which said that MNK is entitled to a medical practitioner of his choice, and as a result of that, MNK legal team led by Maxwell Opara, Esq., was there with the consultant physician.

“Everyone thereat was allowed to introduce himself, and thereafter, MNK introduced the doctor to the DSS as his personal doctor, who will be coordinating other medical specialists to handle his medical issues.

“The new doctor carried out an interim medical examination and interview with MNK, and MNK stated thus: -that he easily gets tired or loses strength, and in most cases, it will look as if he wants to collapse as his BP is always high. He has swollen bumps at his armpits, which gave him regular pain and constant headaches. He experienced constant ringing sensations in his ears, which made him very uncomfortable, especially at night. He said that he started having this feeling as a result of the torture he received from Kenyan police when he was unlawfully arrested and detained for nine days before he was unlawfully brought to Nigeria.

“Having listened to him, the doctor quickly checked his BP and discovered that it was really high. The doctor advised that he will urgently get a cardiologist to review him and come up with a report, and definitely MNK may undergo surgery. Let’s keep praying for the freedom fighter, and we will continue to update you as we progress.”

It’s an oxymoron for the Army to declare someone wanted for seeking a separate State & turn around to free HUNDREDS of terrorists, all in the same week. It’s another stark evidence of the horrendous injustice that is responsible for the continued detention of MAZI NNAMDI KANU.

[aloy ejimakor @AloyEjimakor]

The jinx is finally broken. Today, a very competent Doctor, personally chosen by Onyendu #MNK, met & examined him. It wasn’t easy, counting from last year when this should’ve happened. The indomitable #MnkLegalTeam also met with MNK today. It’s tough but we must not relent.

[Chinasa Nworu @ChinasaNworu]

Just imagine what some of our women did in Istanbul airport #Turkey, just because they were to be deported .
This is very shameful . How can people respect you when your women behave in this manner? .
I know they will Be sent to jail from this airport and later be deported for this behavior.

[aloy ejimakor @AloyEjimakor]

Regarding the false & defamatory allegations being made by @EjioforBar against me, #MNK has directed me to ignore him & I will do as directed. So, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, you may continue but the train has already left the station. You know what I mean. On #FreeMNK I stand. Case closed.

[Uchechi Okwu-Kanu @OkwukKanu]

After our little1 had written his Xmas wish at school, I asked him what else he wants for Xmas.He said,"what I've written down's the only thing I want for Christmas-for my dad to come back to me".The things we have had to deal with in #MNK's absence will be detailed in my story..

Nigeria is under treaty to free Nnamdi Kanu without court order

By ALOY EJIMAKOR

In addition to the permanent prosecutorial barriers created by the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by virtue of the provisions of the Nigerian and Kenyan Extradition Acts, there are other laws, particularly treaties that have irreparably robbed Nigerian courts of the jurisdiction to subject Nnamdi Kanu to trial or even detention under the present circumstances.

In plain terms, Nigeria cannot legally levy its sovereign rights of criminal prosecution or detention against Nnamdi Kanu without first proving that the act of transferring him from Kenya to Nigeria conformed to the basic tenets of treaties to which Nigeria is subject by ratification or by an Act of the National Assembly. This is but a basic condition precedent without which trial or detention of Nnamdi Kanu is unsustainable as a matter of black letter law.

The whispering notion that extraordinary rendition is a quaint concept in international law and thus does not apply to Nigeria is profoundly false and retrograde. In particular, there is a little-known (often-ignored) Nigerian law, enacted by the National Assembly in 1983 that prohibits extraordinary rendition or unlawful cross-border exclusion.

That law is known as the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, codified at CAP A9, Laws of Federation of Nigeria, 2004. Article 12(4) of this Law provides that “A non-national legally admitted in a territory of a State Party to the present Charter, may only be expelled from it by virtue of a decision taken in accordance with the law”.

To be sure, Nnamdi Kanu, a non-national of Kenya, was legally admitted to Kenya on 12th May, 2021 and then expelled or was transferred from Kenya to Nigeria on 27th June, 2021 without ‘a decision taken in accordance with the law’.

Unarguably, both Nigeria and Kenya are State Parties to the parent African Charter that grandfathered the version (cited above) that Nigeria later domesticated into its municipal laws in 1983. In effect, Nigeria became bound to this Charter both by treaty (ratification) and by domestication (Act of National Assembly).

Additionally, the ‘Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters within the Commonwealth (Enactment and Enforcement) Act’ - another little-known Nigerian Law - clearly specified at Sections 4 to 6 - the strict procedures that must be followed in any situation, such as the case of Kanu, where Nigeria is requesting assistance in a criminal matter, including transferring or extraditing a fugitive from a Commonwealth country, of which Kenya is one.

These procedures absolutely require the consent of the State of refuge where such fugitive is found. In particular, Section 6(5) stated clearly that “The provisions of sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Act shall apply mutatis mutandis to any case in which Nigeria is either the requesting or requested country, as the case may require”. In this case, Nigeria is the requesting country.

The same African Charter (the continental version) provides in its ‘Principles and Guidelines on Human and Peoples’ Rights while Countering Terrorism in Africa’ (at Part 5(A) provides that: “A State may not transfer (e.g., deport, expel, remove, extradite) an individual to the custody of another State unless it is prescribed by law and in accordance with due process and other international human rights obligations. Deportation, expulsion, and removal cannot be used to circumvent criminal justice processes, including extradition procedures. Extraordinary rendition, or any other transfer, without due process is prohibited. What immediately jumps out from this law is the phrase “extraordinary rendition or any other transfer without due process of law is prohibited”.

If you want Igbos out of Lagos or Nigeria, stop #demolishing their properties; that’s cowardly. Instead, do a referendum on Biafra & brace for the resounding result. Until then, stop turning Nigeria into an open air prison for Igbos. From the pogrom to now, Igbos have had enough.
