Nnamdi Kanu Wins As Court Rules Against Buhari Government

Nnamdi Kanu has won again with the court ruling against Buhari Government.

Newsone reports that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government of Nigeria has lost its bid to transfer the suit of the extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, from Umuahia to Abuja.

The Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State in a ruling on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, insisted that it has the jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit against Nnamdi Kanu.

Newsone Nigeria reports that the court ruling against the Buhari government was disclosed by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, in a tweet on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, where he stressed that the matter was still ongoing.

He wrote: “Breaking: Federal High Court, Umuahia denies the Federal Government’s application to transfer the ‘extraordinary rendition’ suit to Abuja, and rules that Umuahia has the jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit”. Reading of the rest of the judgment continues.”

The Special Counsel was challenging Kanu’s abduction and extraordinary rendition from Kenya. He is, among other things, praying for the court to order his return to Kenya, where he was abducted, or the UK, his country of abode.
