Biafran Government Says Rule of Law Must Prevail in Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial

Obiajulu Joel Nwolu

The De-facto customary government of Biafra has cautioned the Nigerian government to ensure that the trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu follows the stipulated standard of the conventional rule of law, noting that it is closely monitoring the situation.

The government of Biafra said this in reaction to the rearrest and detention of its citizen, Kanu, who is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

This was contained in a statement the government sent to SaharaReporters.

It read, “Our official reliable source has it that citizen Nnamdi Kanu has been arraigned by the Nigerian authorities. The circumstances are yet to be clarified.

“The Government of Biafra reiterates that clarity, certainty and labelling of offences in the Nigerian criminal justice system remains an open question; hence must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

“Therefore, the Government of Biafra is keenly monitoring the trends of this incident within the standard of the conventional rule of law.

“The Government of Biafra distinguishes her immense contribution to fundamental human rights and present-day restoration struggle from any action of unnecessary recklessness and abetting of crimes by internal or external individuals, state agencies or groups.

“Rule of law and justice of which much has been given with the blood of Biafrans must prevail.”
