Group slams Nigerian govt over Kanu’s detention

A group called Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC) on Friday slammed the Federal Government over the continuous detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The PLAC’s Executive Director, Clement Nwankwo, who addressed journalists at a media briefing in Abuja, said the Court of Appeal had declared that the federal government flouted all local and international laws for forcefully bringing Kanu back to Nigeria from Kenya last year.

The Court of Appeal, Abuja, had on October 13 discharged the activist on terrorism charges brought against him by the government.
