We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the great liberator of our time Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU are very concerned about the lack of progress in the matter before the Supreme Court of Nigeria concerning the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The delay, neglect or refusal by the Nigerian Supreme Court
for more than three months now and counting to fix a date to determine the
appeal before them partaining to the Extraordinary Rendition and illegal
detention of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU raises some doubts and questions as to
whether the Nigerian Supreme Court has made itself complicit and a willing tool
in the hands of the Nigerian government to delay and impliedly deny justice to
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
It should be recalled that the Appeal Court in Abuja had on
the 13th of October 2022 discharged and
acquitted Mazi Nnamdi KANU and barred the Federal Government from further
prosecuting him in any court in Nigeria. Rather than obeying the Appeal Court
Order, the Federal Government ran to the Supreme Court on appeal.
In what seemed to be a connivance between the Supreme Court Judges and the Federal
Government of Nigeria to continue the illegal detention of Mazi Nnamdi KANU,
the Supreme Court have refused to fix a date to hear the appeal before it
notwithstanding the fact that a gross
violation of the Fundamental Human Rights of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has taken place
and continue to take place with his continued detention at the Nigerian Gestapo
Secret Police the DSS. Also the
deteriorating health condition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in detention seem not to be
of concern to the Supreme Court Justices in propelling them into having
expedited hearing on this very case that has assumed important International
dimension.
As it is today, the Federal Government of Nigeria is in
contempt of its court by illegally holding MNK in the DSS solitary confinement.
This abnormal and worrying attitude of
the Supreme Court raises the concern
that they are either in connivance with the Federal Government to keep
MNK illegally detained against Appeal Court Orders or they have been
intimidated by the cabals in the Executive arm of the Nigeria Government into
denying justice to an innocent man.
IPOB has observed that the Nigerian judiciary being the
third arm of government is not adequately and regorously exercising its
Constitutional mandate in the dispensation of Justice to the common man who
look up to the Judiciary as his/her last hope.
This delay in hearing the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,
juxtaposed with concurrent actions on other less important cases before it such
as the Old Naira Note case which the Supreme Court heard experte and heard the
substantive matter a week or so later leaves the Biafran people and the
discerning public with the only probable conclusion that the Nigerian Supreme Court
is being controlled by forces outside of the Judiciary as an equal and
Independent arm of government presupposing therefore that the Supreme Court
Administrators are taking instructions from the Presidency and the political
Cabals before dispensing justice.
It is instructive to note that the same Nigeria Supreme
Court that is now dragging its feet in hearing the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has presided over some cases that
are now threatening the peace and security of the South Eastern Nigeria
specifically, it is the Supreme Court that ignited the consuming fire of
impunity, destruction of properties and livelihood of Ndi Imo, burning of
Markets, insecurity od the highest order, and mass murder in Imo State through the imposition ofHope
Uzodinma as a governor of Imo state. This is a man rejected by Imo voters and
people at large, who came in a distant fourth position after the polls, but the
Supreme Court, with their magic abracadabra made him the governor.
The Supreme Court Similarly presided over the Ahmed Lawan
case in which the current Senate President who never contested in the APC
primary elections, was declared an APC senatorial candidate for his
constituency by the same Supreme Court Justices. Most recently the Supreme
Court created a national confusion in a currency swap policy of the Central
Bank of Nigeria CBN by allowing themselves to assume original jurisdiction in a
matter that was supposed to go to High Court. The Supreme Court Justices have been
bamboozled by an undue executive interference and possible blackmail topped up
with probable corrupt inducements.
If our assertion based on what's going on with our leader's
case is anything to go by, it means that the Nigeria State is in pari passu with
Taliban of Afgalistan, Idi Amin of Uganda, and Hitler of Germany where every
arm of government are held hostage by tyrants in power. Gone are the days when
we say that the courts are the last hope of a common man. This slogan is now
history in Nigeria due to the flagrant disobedient to Court Orders by the
lawless Executives and the inability of the judiciary to ensure that their
orders are adhered to.
We are watching the Supreme Court of Nigeria, which
incidentally is a constitutional court to redeem their battered image on the
case of extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi KANU which has been filed before
them. They have a choice to legalize and institutionalize extraordinary
rendition, which is an international crime or put the lawless and reckless
Executive arm of government led by corrupt political cabals
to order.
The men on the bench have the chance to demonstrate to the
world that Nigeria is not a pariah state by promptly dispensing justice that is
globally acceptable or sink Nigeria's battered image further into the pit of
infermy and disrepute. The world and the international communities are watching
Nigeria in the prism of a failed state.
The case of Mazi Nnamdi KANU has come to challenge the
courage and independence of the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court and,
most especially, the constitutionality and foundation of Nigeria.
