According to him, the conference scheduled to hold in Finland from November 29 to 3 December 2024 will be a defining event that would positively shape the history of Biafra.

His statement read in parts, “The Declaration of the Restoration of the Independence State of Biafra Conference, scheduled to take place in Finland from November 29 to December 3 2024, will be the highest History pursuit for freedom. Over 1000 Biafra delegates from all over the world will gather in Finland for this convention, and this is the second time.

“All media are with special status invitation”.

This development came two months after over two million Biafrans voted to exit Nigeria through a BRIGIE-backed e-voting platform.

Recalled in October last year, BRIGIE hosted an extraordinary conference on Biafra Referendum.

Ekpa, BRGIE’s Prime Minister, has continued to be the pioneer of the Biafra separatist movement over the persistent marginalization and deprivation of the Southeast in the scheme of things in Nigeria.

BIAFRA NEWS : Southeast underrepresented in National Assembly – Biafra Nationalists Movement

Owerri- The Igbo Biafra Nationalists Movements, on Thursday said the Southeast region was underrepresented at the National Assembly considering the number of states in each region.

 The Convener, Igbo-Biafra Nationalists Movements, Mazi Uche Mefor, stated this to Vanguard while speaking on the Southeast Marginalization on state creation.

 According to Mazi Mefor, of the Igbo-Biafra Nationalists and the Indigenous People of Igbo Nation for self-determination, said: “North West – 7 states, North East – 6 states, North Central – 6 states, South West – 6 states, South South – 6 states South East – 5 states. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria regulates the allocation of Senators to each geopolitical zone in Nigeria. According to the 1999 Constitution (as amended), every state is granted three Senators in the National Assembly. Consequently, the allocation of Senators in Nigeria to each geopolitical zone is contingent upon the number of states inside that zone. According to the statistical information provided above, the distribution of Senators among Nigeria’s geopolitical zones is as follows:

“North West – 21 Senators (7 states x 3 Senators per state) North East – 18 Senators (6 states x 3 Senators per state) North Central – 18 Senators (6 states x 3 Senators per state) South West – 18 Senators (6 states x 3 Senators per state) South South – 18 Senators (6 states x 3 Senators per state) South East – 15 Senators (5 states x 3 Senators per state) FCT (also designated as North) – 1 Senator

“Based on the above facts, the South-East geopolitical zone has the lowest number of states, resulting in the lowest number of Senators in the Nigerian National Assembly. The South-East region comprises five states and is represented by 15 Senators. By contrast, the remaining geopolitical zones possess a more significant number of states, resulting in a higher allocation of Senators (18 each).

“In this context, the South-East geopolitical zone is “losing” in terms of the number of Senators it has relative to the other geopolitical zones in Nigeria. This situation reflects the impact of the number of states within each zone on the allocation of Senators in the National Assembly. The geopolitical zones and the number of House of Representatives members allocated to each zone are as follows:

“North West – 92 members, North East – 43 members, North Central – 49 members, South West – 71 members, South South – 61 members, South East – 43 members, FCT (also designated as North) – 2 members. Based on the provided statistical data, it is evident that both the South-East and North-East regions have an equal representation in the House of Representatives, with only 43 members each. Furthermore, despite the North-East having 43 representatives, it still measures up with 18 senators, whether South-East remains constantly a disadvantage, being short of 3 senators and so being underrepresented.

“Just like in the Walls decision by the ICJ, Israel was under dual obligation(negative and positive) to refrain from impeding the Palestinians from exercising their rights to self-determination and to do everything possible to promote it Nigeria is also equally under obligation not to stop either physically or administratively or legally any part of her population from enjoying their rights to internal self-determination. The wilful and deliberate state-sponsored apartheid policy to restrict and confine the South-East to only 5 states, while other regions or zones have at least 6 states is a violation of that obligation under international law and even under the African Charter on Human and Peoples rights with reference to CAP 10 Laws of Federal Republic of Nigeria 2004 as amended. For the South-Easterners, Nigeria is a neo-colonialist entity bent on holding the South-East down and impeding on her economic and political progress and development.

“Furthermore, the least allocation of revenue, least number of senators and house of representative members, least number of local government areas, under-representation in appointments in key sectors of the political and economic life of Nigeria is an official demotion of the South-East zone or region to a permanent minority status when compared with other zones. The direct consequence of this is that the South-Easterners, the Igbos who in reality one of largest ethnic groups in population are now second class citizens and permanent minorities with the rest of Nigeria. These actions are illegal and discriminatory and violates the principle of equal rights, equality of states and federal character provisions,” Mefor said.

BIAFRA NEWS : This is how my father remembered it. Remembering my father’s Biafra: The politics of erasing history

 

 The year was 1966 and he, a bright and ambitious boy of 13 or 14 (no one could be sure because the European missionaries did not issue birth certificates to children like him whose parents refused to convert to Christianity), lived in Akpugoeze, in Nigeria’s southeastern Enugu state. Tradional marriage in biafra land

It was a town of sprawling cassava farms and towering palm trees – not a wealthy place, but one where the townsfolk worked together to build new roads and widen existing ones, to construct schools, churches, and a primary healthcare centre.   Nicodemus saviour

My father had just won a scholarship to study at one of the country’s finest secondary schools in Port Harcourt, 200km south. But my grandfather was sceptical. He was scared that the city that opened its mouth to the sea, would swallow his first-born son.

Soon, school would be the last thing on either of their minds.

In the markets and on the way to the stream, people had started to whisper tales about pogroms in the north. They said Igbo people – the ethnic group to which my father belonged – were being rounded up and killed in Kano, Kaduna and Sokoto, some 600-1,000km away.

When Nigeria had gained its independence from the United Kingdom on October 1, 1960, a federal constitution had divided the country into three regions, each run by one of the main ethnic groups: The Hausa-Fulani in the north, the Yoruba in the southwest and the Igbo in the southeast.

Less than six years later, there was widespread disillusionment with the government, which was perceived as corrupt and incapable of maintaining law and order.

Then on January 15, 1966, a military coup overthrew and killed Nigeria’s first prime minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, a northerner. As several of those involved were Igbo, and many of those killed were politicians from the north, it was erroneously labelled an Igbo coup. Many northerners interpreted it as an attempt to subjugate the north, which was less developed than the south.

Army commander Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, an Igbo, suppressed the coup but took power himself. His plan to abolish the regions and establish a unitary government further compounded northern fears that southerners would take over. A counter-coup in July saw soldiers from the north seize power as Aguiyi-Ironsi was overthrown and killed.

When news of the pogroms first began circulating in the southeast, people from the towns and villages started to trek to cities like Enugu and Onitsha, some 70km away, in search of telephones. They carried with them pieces of crisp brown paper on which their relatives who moved to the north had scribbled their numbers. They travelled in groups. Those who could not make it begged others to call the numbers for them.

They returned to their homes distraught, having learned that the telephone lines in the north were down.

Weeks later, mammy wagons began dropping people off at my father’s town – people with sunken eyes and blistered skin, some of them with missing limbs.

The homes to which these people returned erupted into squeals of delight – the relatives they had feared dead were alive. Most had nothing but near-empty bags with them. A few carried something else – the remains of relatives who had not survived the pogroms.

About 30,000 Igbo were killed in the pogroms and about one million internally displaced. Some northerners living in Igbo areas were also killed in revenge attacks.

In response to the pogroms, on May 30, 1967, Colonel Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu unilaterally declared the independent Republic of Biafra in the southeast of the country.

Then the war began.

My father and his family learned to take cover as the air rumbled with bombs, shelling, bazookas and, much later on, ogbunigwe, weapons systems mass-produced by the Republic of Biafra.

Like most boys his age, he volunteered to join the Biafran Boys – a group of child soldiers trained by the Biafran army. Few of them ever saw combat, but he never tired of telling me and my siblings about his mock wooden gun, morning drills and uniform of khaki shorts and shirt.

Decades later he would recall how he and the other boys would go to the market to bully traders into parting with their chickens and goats, groundnut and palm oil, with the same boyish excitement with which he had experienced it. He also remembered the jubilation with which they received the news that other countries – Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Zambia – had recognised Biafra.

Occasionally, he would wonder what his life would have been like had the war never arrived and he had made it to that school in Port Harcourt.

In Nigerian history books, that period between 1966 and 1970 is called The Nigerian Civil War or The Nigerian-Biafran war. But for those of us whose families lived through it, it is an erasure of truth not to name it The Biafran Genocide.

Estimates of the death toll vary – with some putting it at more than one million and others at more than two million. Some died as a result of the fighting but most from hunger and disease after the Nigerian government imposed a land and sea blockade that resulted in famine.

In The Republic, Amarachi Iheke gives a detailed analysis of the case for and against classifying it as a genocide, arguing that whether or not you believe it to have been a genocide, the conflict exposes “blind spots in our application of international human rights norms” and that “moving forward, as part of a national reconciliation project, it is necessary we embark on critical truth-seeking around Biafra’s genocide claim”.

But the foundations of the Nigerian government’s denial were planted on January 15, 1970, when Biafra agreed to a ceasefire and the war ended. Nigeria’s Military Head of State General Yakubi Gowon declared the conflict had “no victor, no vanquished”.

But there was clearly a victor – the Nigerian government, which had regained control of the oil-rich region – and a vanquished – the people of the now-defunct Republic of Biafra, on whose land the war had been fought, whose homes had been destroyed, whose relatives had died of starvation and disease, and their descendants who would have to navigate the world with the weight of their trans-generational trauma.

Still, in keeping with Gowon’s mantra, the government began to craft its own story; one echoed in school textbooks.

In school, I learned no details of what happened in Biafra. The reality was tactfully erased from the curriculum, while those responsible were depicted as national heroes who had fought to preserve Nigeria’s unity. I tried to reconcile the colourful pictures of these “national heroes” in my Social Studies books (history was removed from the basic curriculum in 2007) with my father’s experience of the war.

When I told my classmates my father’s stories, they would look at me, their mouths open in disbelief, as though they were hearing these things for the first time. When the topic came up in class, the teacher would gloss over it as though it was something from the distant past, then conclude with a tone of “happily ever after”.

The result is a new generation of Nigerians who are either unaware of the country’s true past or have normalised it as a small price to pay to maintain the nation’s unity.

This ahistoric

I often think of Mourid Barghouti, who in his autobiography I Saw Ramallah writes, “It is easy to blur the truth with a simple linguistic trick: start your story from ‘Secondly’.” By carefully omitting the real spark of the conflict in 1966 – the pogroms – we change the whole truth of it.

Yet sadly, this is how most Nigerians tell the story of the Biafran Genocide; disregarding its cause and pretending that it was a war to protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity instead of one fuelled by years of ethnic tensions and concerns over resource control.

But in Nigeria’s quest to erase and amend its history, it has forfeited the opportunity to learn from it – and this is something that continues to haunt us. Decades after Biafra, we have witnessed this past replicate itself in mini-episodes such as the Odi Massacre in 1991 and Zaria Massacre in 2015. And just like the Biafran Genocide, the memories of these gruesome incidents are forgotten quickly, erased and distorted, downplayed by the media, and the perpetrators are never held accountable.

ism follows us around in the physical and virtual worlds. Recently, during a Twitter brawl, Bello el-Rufai, the son of Kaduna State governor Nasir Ahmed el-Rufai, threatened a user he perceived to be Igbo, saying he would pass the Twitter user’s mother around to his friends, while Bello’s own mother appeared to defend her son, declaring that all was “fair in love and war”.

But for Biafrans, it is not so easy to delink his words from history. After all, 50 years ago, Igbo women were being passed around in the military camps set up in captured Biafran towns, in open-air markets, on the street or in their own homes, as their children and husbands were made to watch.

But the truth is, it is impossible to erase the past, at least not completely. We may try to distort it, pretend that it never happened, but it will always be there. And for people like my father, the war will forever give shape to their lives – splitting it into a before and an after.

Immediately after the war, the Nigerian government made it a point of duty to instil a spirit of nationalism in the hearts of schoolchildren like my father. But these children had already seen first-hand what comes with challenging the notion of one Nigeria. So it was not a patriotism borne of love for one’s country but of fear. Unconsciously, my father passed this fear on to his children.

We have learned to perform our nationalism in public, to avoid speaking our languages, to show our most Nigerian selves.

My father died last year, after years spent battling health problems in a country where he could not access quality healthcare. But his life, and the memories he shared with me during years of conversations in our parlour, has left behind glimpses of a history we must never forget.

What he gave me with his stories is the knowledge that it is imperative to talk about the past, to teach it, to confront it. In that way, we learn from it, and can tell when it is being erased and distorted, or about to be recreated.

BIAFRA NEWS : biafrans begins self-referendum voting for all Igbos, reveals details

 

The Biafra Republic Government in Exile, BRGIE, has announced the commencement of a self-referendum to actualize the age-long agitated sovereign nation called Biafra.

In a document by Ekpa Simon, Prime Minister of BRGIE, sighted by our correspondent, the E-voting platform overview said the referendum is part of steps meant to be taken to actualize the Biafra Republic peacefully.  HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE, : Welcome Back !

Accordingly, voting will start on February 1 2024, until it reaches a reasonable number of votes; this is because of the challenges of the internet and lack of electricity in rural areas.

The group called on all Nigerians of Igbo extraction to participate in the ongoing online referendum, saying all Biafra citizens have the right to choose their sovereignty freely.

BRGIE states, “Biafrans have demonstrated unparalleled loyalty to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra Government in Exile by sitting at home every Monday for the past two years during our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s court appearances.

“Collectively, through these actions, Biafrans have demonstrated beyond doubt a desire to be free from subjugation and the unprovoked periodic massacre of our people.

“As such, we are taking steps to satisfy the requirements for a peaceful actualization of a quest for self-preservation and independence of the United States of Biafra.

“Through the ongoing delegitimization of Nigeria in Biafra territory(through the Grievance Declaration, institutionalization Declaration and Commitment Declaration) and the legitimization of the Biafra Government, the Biafra Liberation have attained the status for state recognition by successfully setting up institutions required by international law and standards.

“This referendum election provides yet another step towards our freedom. As a Biafra citizen, you will further demonstrate your resolve for an independent United States of Biafra by participating in the Biafra Self Referendum (BSR)”.

The group said to qualify for the exercise, the participant must ” be a Biafran by birth (born of mother and/or father who themselves are Biafrans)” and from 18 years above.

“You must know your State and County, which serve as your precinct.

“You must have a passport photo or a phone to take your passport photo. Your photo must not be more than 2MB”, it added.

The Finland-based lawyer and separatist Ekpa disclosed in a statement on Saturday that the flare with which Biafrans embraced the E-voting showed their enthusiasm for liberation.

According to him, the number of Biafra who have voted for self-referendum in the last ten days surpassed the total votes from the southeast in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections.

He said the voting will continue till May 2024, while stages two and three will commence in June and last till October 2024.

“Over two Million Biafrans have voted in self-referendum in just a few days of E-voting commencement. And considering the number of voters from Eastern Nigeria in the last general election, it is clear that Biafrans are ready to go. The first stage of the E-voting continues till May 2024. There are three stages.

“Stage one will(Which commenced February 1 2024, with the E-voting) end in May, stage two start in June and end in August, stage 3 starts in September and end on October 30, 2024″ Indeed, we are on the verge of achieving liberation”, he said.

Recall that on February 1, BRGIE unveiled the self-referendum for the e-voting portal.

BRGIE had cited marginalization, underdevelopment, insecurity and poverty in the southeast region as justification for self-referendum.

BIAFRA : Again, Nnamdi Kanu Disbands Legal Team

 

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has disbanded his current legal team led by Mike Ozekhome, SAN.

 Kanu also terminated the services of his medical team for failing to provide a medical report substantiating his alleged heart-related illness. HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE, : CryptoEarns - Best Crypto Earning Platform

The decision follows the Supreme Court’s judgement on Friday, December 15, 2023, which mandated the continuation of Kanu’s trial on terrorism charges.

The case, initiated in 2015, had been put on hold at the Federal High Court in Abuja after the Court of Appeal dismissed the charges in October 2022. The Court of Appeal’s decision was based on the illegality of Kanu’s “extraordinary rendition” from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021 for the continuation of his trial.   HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE, : Earn Instant Crypto to CWallet.

However, the Supreme Court ruled in December that Kanu’s trial on terrorism charges must proceed. Judicial sources, confirming the disbandment of the legal team, stated that Kanu was dissatisfied with the Supreme Court’s decision and subsequently ordered the dissolution of the legal team.

 The sources further revealed that another Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Kanu Agabi, would be enlisted as the embattled IPOB leader continues to fight his case in court.

The objective is to have Kanu transferred to Kuje prison, where he will have unrestricted access to people.  HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE, : Dogecoin - Faucetpay. Ripple - Faucetpay. Bitcoin ... The Faucet MOM website, accessible

BIAFRA NEWS : Court adjourns Nnamdi Kanu’s N1 billion suit against federal govt, SSS

 

A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday, adjourned a fresh N1 billion suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), against the federal government until 4 March for hearing.

Justice James Omotosho adjourned the matter following the absence of counsel for Mr Kanu in court.

When the case was called, Mr Kanu, who was the applicant, was not represented in court while the defendants’ lawyers were in court.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr Kanu, through his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, had filed the latest suit for the enforcement of his fundamental rights while in detention.

In the originating motion dated and filed 4 December, 2023, the applicant sued the Nigerian government, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), State Security Service (SSS) and its director-general as 1st to 4th respondents respectively.

The suit was filed pursuant to Order II, Rules 1 & 2 of the Fundamental Rights Enforcement Procedure Rules 2009, among others.

Reliefs Kanu is seeking

In the motion, the detained IPOB leader prayed for eight reliefs.

Mr Kanu is seeking a declaration that the respondents’ act of forcible seizure and photocopying of confidential legal documents pertaining to facilitating the preparation of his defence which were brought to him at the respondents’ detention facility by his lawyers, amounted to denial of his rights to be defended by legal practitioners of his own choice.

He is seeking a declaration that the respondents’ act of refusing or preventing his counsel from taking notes of details of counsel’s professional discussions/consultations with him at SSS detention, with said discussions/consultations relating to preparation of his defence, amounted to denial of his right to be given adequate facilities for the preparation of his defence by legal practitioners of his own choice.

He is also seeking a declaration that the respondents’ act of eavesdropping on his confidential consultations/conversations with his lawyers on matters relating to preparation of his defence during the lawyers’ visitations amounted to denial of applicant’s right to be given adequate facilities for the preparation of his defence and to be defended by legal practitioners of his own choice.

Mr Kanu described the acts as illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional and constituted an infringement of his fundamental right to fair hearing as enshrined and guaranteed under Section 36(6)(b) & (c) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Article 7(1)(c) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.

The IPOB leader, therefore, is seeking an order of injunction restraining and prohibiting the respondents from their act of forcible seizure and photocopying of confidential legal documents brought to him at the detention facility by his lawyers.

“An order of injunction restraining and prohibiting the respondents from their act of refusing or preventing the applicant’s counsel from taking notes of details of counsel’s professional discussions/consultations with the applicant during the counsel’s visitation with the applicant at the premises of respondents’ detention facility.

“An order of injunction restraining and prohibiting the respondents from their act of eavesdropping on the applicant’s confidential consultations/conversations with his lawyers on matters relating to preparation of applicant’s defence during the lawyers’ visitations with the applicant at the detention facility.”

Mr Kanu is also seeking an order compelling the respondents to issue an official letter of apology to him for the infringement of his fundamental right to fair hearing.

Igbo adolescents to Tinubu: if it's not too much trouble, discharge Nnamdi Kanu, we will celebrate you

 

The Alliance of South East Youth Pioneers (COSEYL) has approached President Bola Tinubu to deliver the head of the Native Nation of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from DSS guardianship.

The socio-political gathering said in an explanation made accessible to the Country by its leader general, Goodluck Ibem, on Saturday, December 9, that it would observe President Tinubu assuming he maintains law and order by liberating Nnamdi Kanu from DSS care.

The assertion peruses to some degree: "President Tinubu has before now been a backer of the standard regulation and regard for court orders which illuminated his choice to be important for NADECO which battled against military junta and autocracy.
"The genuine arrival of Nnamdi Kanu will demonstrate that President Tinubu says and stands by what he maintains and battled for in the past during the tactical time.

"The whole southeast international zone is standing by truly to accept their child Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the High Court settles on his matter on 15 December 2023.

"We will observe President Tinubu for maintaining law and order and regarding the Court judgment by setting Nnamdi Kanu free from DSS care."

The gathering said that the uncertainty in the southeast would stop with the arrival of the IPOB pioneer.

Tinubu Government To Burn through N65Billion On Office Redesigns, Voyages, However Police Trust Asset Got N57Billion To Safeguard 200Million Nigerians - Peter Obi

 

The previous Anambra State lead representative mourned that President Tinubu endorsed the portion of N15.961 billion for trips for his assistants and the VP's associates, adding that by all signs, the President and VP will spend about N30 billion on trips from the financial plan.

The applicant of the Work Party (LP) in the 2023 official political decision, Peter Obi, has thrashed President Bola Tinubu for apportioning more assets to himself, VP Kashim Shettima and their helpers for trips than the sum dispensed to Police Trust Asset in the 2024 financial plan.

The previous Anambra State lead representative deplored that President Tinubu supported the designation of N15.961 billion for trips for his assistants and the VP's associates, adding that by all signs, the President and VP will spend about N30 billion on trips from the financial plan.

Obi said that Tinubu likewise endorsed the amount of N20 billion for the workplace of the Head of Staff for the remodel of the President and the VP's workplaces in Lagos and Abuja and their full 'digitization', making a sum of about N65 billion for outings and redesign, while a sum of N57 billion was dispensed for Police Trust Asset to get north of 200 million Nigerians.

He said that this is in spite of the rising frailty in Nigeria with half of north of 5,000 police headquarters the nation over working without practical vehicles. He noticed that police headquarters that have practical vehicles get just N5,000 everyday for fuel, convincing them to constantly request fuel cash to take care of crisis issues.

Communicating his mistake and analysis of the monetary designations, Obi composed on his X handle on Friday, "While I'm actually sitting tight for the receipt of the all relevant information of the 2024 spending plan for assessment and to guarantee the prioritization of the things for development, I wish to remark on a portion of the things that are as of now in the public space.

"The amount of N15.961 billion has been planned for trips for the assistants of the president and the VP. Assuming the helpers are spending this much, one can extrapolate that their chiefs, the President, and the VP, will spend two times as much which will be about N30 billion.

"This really intends that in 2024 the workplace of the President and VP, and their assistants will swallow over N45b for trips alone.

"Moreover, the workplace of the Head of Staff planned N20 billion for the remodel of the President and the VP's workplaces in Lagos and Abuja and their full 'digitization'.

Indeed, even those that have are given under N5,000 for fuel in a day, which is the reason assuming you are fortunate, for conspicuous individuals like me, to call the police for any mediation in a crisis, the primary thing they tell you is - 'we have no fuel'.

"Expecting we choose to focus on our rundowns and utilize these assets as a large portion of the excursions and the redesigns are of no worth to our development and efficiency, we can move toward nearby producers like Innoson and others and request 2,500 4×4 trucks which starting today cost about N30 million.

"We will actually want to get a 20% markdown on the grounds that we are purchasing in huge amounts and paying them forthright. It will add up to N25 million every, which will be N62.5 billion for half of the police headquarters that don't have functional vehicles today, and which will be dealt with by the cash we save from the planned travel and redesigns.

"The N15 billion planned for the new home of the VP can be utilized for fuelling police functional vehicles by significantly increasing their fuel remittances from about N5,000 by and by to N15,000 each day, which will come to N13.687 billion."

BIAFRA NEWS : Reasons Nnamdi Kanu can't be attempted in Nigeria - IPOB legal counselor, Ejimakor

 Aloy Ejimakor, Extraordinary Advice to Nnamdi Kanu, head of the Native Nation of Biafra, IPOB, has made sense of why the Biafran fomenter can't be attempted in any Nigerian court.

Ejimakor made sense of that Kanu was unlawfully stole in Kenya and exposed to phenomenal version in Nigeria.

He noticed that there was no proof that the assent of Kenyan specialists was acquired before charges were imposed against Kanu.

Review that in June 2021, Kanu was rearrested in Kenya and exposed to uncommon version.

Upon his re-visitation of Nigeria, the National Government summoned Kanu on a four-count pre-interpretation charges.

The previous Principal legal officer of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, pulled out everything except one of the said 4-count accuses and supplanted them of 14-count charges verging on psychological warfare and participation in a restricted association.

Over time, the Government High Court, in accordance with applications made, diminished the Charges to the 7-counts that were subsequently suppressed by the Court of Allure, in this way prompting the praised judgment releasing Kanu and excepting his preliminary in Nigeria.

Nonetheless, an explanation gave by Ejimakor peruses underneath… ..

"Following his notorious unprecedented version, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was - on 29th June 2021 - subtly summoned and without advantage of his Insight of record under the watchful eye of the Government High Court, Abuja on the 4-count pre-interpretation Charges, remaining against him as of that date.

"The Charges were: treacherous crime; connivance to perpetrate backstabbing lawful offense; unlawful importation of radio hardware; and maligning of President Buhari. In removal practice, these Charges are known as pre-removal Charges or pre-version Charges, like in this specific case.

"In this way, in a huge number of corrections of Charges, the then Head legal officer of Nigeria (Abubakar Malami, SAN) pulled out everything except one of the said 4-count Accuses and supplanted them of a completely new arrangement of 14-count Charges that all verged on psychological oppression and participation in a banished association.

"Over time, the Government High Court, as per applications made, diminished the Charges to the 7 counts that were subsequently suppressed by the Court of Allure, hence prompting the commended judgment releasing Nnamdi Kanu and excepting his preliminary in Nigeria.

"Without bias to any live official procedures as of now forthcoming and concerning Nnamdi Kanu, people in general has an option to be educated regarding whether, after the version, it is lawful for the Head legal officer to leave the pre-interpretation Charges and exhibit an entirely different system of Charges against Nnamdi Kanu, post-version. The basic response is that it is unlawful and underneath are the reasons:

"Under the generally perceived regulation, known as the 'Convention of Specialty' which relates to removals, an outlaw moved from another nation is dependent upon indictment just for those offenses for which the individual was moved. In any case, where his exchange bombed the gather of the law or comprised a version, he isn't to be exposed to any preliminary or detainment however expeditiously got back to whence he was brought. This is precedent-based regulation and Nigeria remembered it and established it in Area 15 of Nigeria's Removal Act, which gives as follows:

"Where, as per the law of any district inside the Province or in compatibility of a removal understanding among Nigeria and another country (regardless of whether inside the Federation), any individual blamed for or unlawfully on the loose after conviction of an offense committed inside the locale of Nigeria is given up to Nigeria by the area being referred to, then, inasmuch as he has not had a sensible chance of getting back to that country, that individual will not be kept (whether under this Demonstration etc.), attempted or generally managed in Nigeria for or in regard of an offense committed by him before his acquiescence to Nigeria other than-(a) the offense for which he was given up or any lesser offense which might be demonstrated by current realities on which his acquiescence was conceded; or (b) some other offense (being one comparing to an offense depicted in segment 20 of this Demonstration) of a similar sort as the offense for which he was given up: Given that an individual falling inside this part will not be confined or pursued for an offense by prudence of passage (b) of this part without the earlier assent of the nation giving up him"

Undoubtedly, the prior arrangements were, as respects Nnamdi Kanu, penetrated in the entirety of their material specifics. To start with, as of nineteenth June 2021 when Nnamdi Kanu was snatched in Kenya, he was confronting a 4-count Charge, none of which included or verged on psychological warfare or prohibited association.

Today, the Charges have been extended to 14 new counts, all of which for all intents and purposes verged on Illegal intimidation. Unarguably, this is an unmistakable infringement of the Principle of Claim to fame, particularly considering the stipulation 'that an individual falling inside this Segment (i.e Segment 15 of Nigeria Removal Act) will not be kept or pursued for any new offense without the earlier assent of the nation giving up him'. This is likewise a one-two punch since raising these new Charges expects he is, subsequent upon the version, offense for the prior Charges, which is off-base.

In this specific case, the "giving up country" is Kenya and there is no proof that her assent was gotten before these new 14-count Charges were brought. Certainly, Area 15 of Nigeria's Removal Act is iron-clad, as it went further to totally bar the confinement and preliminary of such individual under some other regulation, similar to the Organization of Law enforcement Act (ACJA) or the Psychological warfare Avoidance Act, which the arraignment had tried to use in Nnamdi Kanu's case.

Honestly, this is apparent from the initial arrangements of Area 109 of ACJA, which made the beginning of criminal procedures "dependent upon the arrangements of some other regulation". For this situation, that 'other regulation' is the said Area 15 of the Removal Act, on the grounds that Kanu was brought from another country. Furthermore, by the principles of contention of regulations, the Kenyan Removal Act additionally applies in a similar tenor.

Furthermore, as the Court of Allure held, this hindrance to confinement and preliminary of Nnamdi Kanu will, upon his delivery, persevere against any re-capture subsequent upon any new Charges. As such, Kanu should initially be gotten back to Kenya as a beginning stage for any desire for eventually arraigning him in Nigeria for any pre-version or post-interpretation offense. There could be no alternate way.

Alternately, Nigeria likewise rigorously requires a similar Teaching of Specialty to be regarded with regards to outlaws removed from Nigeria to different nations, differentiated to escapees gave up to Nigeria. Segment 3(7) of Nigeria's Removal Act expresses that:

"An outlaw crook will not be given up to any country except if the Head legal officer is fulfilled that arrangement is made by the law of that nation, or that extraordinary plans have been made, to such an extent that, insofar as the criminal has not had a sensible chance of getting back to Nigeria, he won't be kept or attempted in that frame of mind for any offense carried out before his acquiescence other than any removal offense which might be demonstrated by current realities on which his acquiescence is conceded".

The plain significance of the above arrangements is immediately clear, and that is: No nation can snatch, interpretation or generally be allowed removal of any individual from Nigeria without the assent of the Principal legal officer of Nigeria. If perchance, such illicitness were to happen, such an individual must initially be allowed to get back to Nigeria; and before then, the individual can nor be confined, nor attempted in such far off country.

The instance of Abba Kyari best shows the arrangements of this regulation and that is exactly why it appeared to numerous that Nigeria was obstructing Abba Kyari's removal to America; or even the instance of Sunday Igboho, whose removal was vivaciously opposed by the Benin Republic. In this way, you can undoubtedly think about what the result would have been had Nigeria legitimately applied to remove Kanu from Kenya. It is such a result Nigeria tried not to by depend on version which, looking back can't make all the difference, basically on the grounds that it cut Kanu off from his sacred to fair hearing which applies in both Kenya and Nigeria.

Strangely, Kenya, from which Nnamdi Kanu was delivered, had comparable arrangements (or insurance) before any individual gave up from Kenyan soil. Segment 6(3) of the Kenyan Removal Act gives that: "An outlaw will not be given up, or focused on or saved in guardianship for the reasons for give up, except if arrangement is made by the law of the mentioning nation, or by a plan made with that country, for getting that he will not, except if he has first been reestablished or had a chance of getting back to Kenya, be managed in that nation for or in regard of any offense committed before his acquiescence, other than (a) the offense in regard of which his acquiescence is mentioned; or (b) any lesser offense demonstrated by the realities demonstrated under the watchful eye of the Court of committal, or (c) some other removal offense in regard of which the Head legal officer might agree to his being so managed".

As should be visible from above Area 6(3) of the Kenyan Removal Act, all the new post-version Charges negate the appropriate arrangements of Kenya's Removal Act and, surprisingly, that of Nigeria. Hence, no Nigerian court has ward to attempt Nnamdi Kanu for these new Charges. In the praised instance of Gabriel Ezeze versus The Express, the Court held that a substantial issue with an arraignment emerges "assuming it charges any offense in regard of which essential agrees to the establishment or affirmation of the arraignment have not been gotten".

Honestly, the 'important assent' rigorously expected prior to accusing Nnamdi Kanu of any new Charges is that of Kenya, in accordance with Segment 15 of the Nigeria Removal Act, which states  for both the pre-rendition and post-rendition Charges.
