We, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) global movement and family, led by the great prophet and unflinching liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, question the silence and refusal of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to hear the Appeal case of our leader despite the numerous accelerated hearing processes filed on the case.
In the case of Mazi Nnamdi KANU, which has been decided by the Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the recent political developments and ethnic profiling of Ndigbo in Nigeria are also playing out. It is apparent that the existences of Biafrans, especially Ndigbo, are jeopardized in Nigeria. We have seen the Supreme Court of Nigeria expedite political cases but remain silent about Mazi Nnamdi KANU’s human rights abuses while he is illegally detained at the DSS solitary confinement or dungeon for nearly two years. The constant quietness and refusal of the Judges of the High Court of Nigeria to mark the calendar of hearing on the Requests brought before them by the National Government against the release and acquitte request from the Abuja Allure Court has shown that the Appex Court isn’t impartial for this situation.
Before being transferred to Nigeria by Nigerian State Secret Agents, prisoner of conscience Mazi Nnamdi KANU was kidnapped and tortured in Kenya. The Abuja Appeal Court acquitted Mazi Nnamdi KANU on October 13, 2023, and ordered the Nigerian government to compensate him appropriately. The Federal Government appealed the case to the Supreme Court in an effort to overturn the Appeal Court’s orders and prevent MNK from being released as ordered. The Appex Court, which should be a common man’s last hope, has been silent for more than 150 days since this appeal was filed. This gives the Nigerian government the opportunity to continue the torture and illegal detention of Mazi Nnamdi KANU in the DSS solitary dungeon for confinement.
Despite Mazi Nnamdi KANU’s declining health, the subversion of law and justice in his ongoing persecution is regrettable, unfortunate, and clearly violates his fundamental human rights, according to the Nigerian Constitution and international law.
On the other hand, the British government and Commonwealth Office’s criminal silence regarding their obligation to use their diplomatic offices to demand Mazi Nnamdi KANU’s unconditional release, a British citizen, in accordance with the Appeal Court’s instructions is detrimental to British global influence.
Why does the Commonwealth Office of Great Britain and Northern Ireland permit their citizens to be held without charge? Where on earth has that occurred previously? only in the case of Mazi Nnamdi KANU due to the government of Nigeria’s animosity toward Ndi Igbo and specifically Mazi Nnamdi KANU.
Because of their vested interest in Ala Igbo’s oil and gas resources, the British government should take into account the possibility that the same resources will still be available when Biafra becomes its own nation. This is the case even though the British government abandoned her citizen who was abducted and extraordinarily transferred from Kenya to Nigeria. The instance of Mazi Nnamdi KANU shows that holding an English visa is useless for a Biafran. It’s miserable that English matured yearned contempt and abhorrence for Biafrans, especially Ndigbo, is likewise reached out to Biafrans who are English residents.
This equivalent England had in the past cut off or remove conciliatory relationship with Nigeria for their bombed endeavor to seize and distribute to Nigeria the Late Umaru Dikko in a strategic duffle pack from London to Nigeria under this equivalent despot Muhammadu Buhari’s tactical tyranny. Mazi Nnamdi KANU is a British citizen, whereas Umaru Dikko was not. What distinguishes the two people kidnapped by the same tyrant? Umaru was a Fulani, companions of England, while Mazi Nnamdu Kanu is a Biafran, the apparent enemies of England. Biafrans in the UK who have been granted British citizenship and a British passport should be reminded by this development that Britain will never defend you as a British citizen in a crisis.
The Supreme Court has demonstrated that Biafrans in Nigeria are not secure. The demand for a referendum to determine our economic and political future as an independent nation is supported by these actions. In Nigeria, the expression “the judiciary is the hope of the common man” no longer applies. The legislative and judicial branches of the same government in Nigeria have been subjugated by the executive branch of the government. The Appex Cum Constitutional Court needs to be aware that if the Appeal Court rules in Mazi Nnamdi KANU’s favor, it will abuse its orders, ridiculing them in front of the entire world and eventually encouraging the Executive branch to become its own law in the future.
We want the Nigerian Supreme Court and the British government to understand that IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi KANU will not relinquish their fight for the Biafra referendum and independence. Mazi Nnamdi KANU is a prophet that Biafrans adore and can not and won’t be exchanged or traded for anything in this world.
