Lord Justice Lewis, a senior British Court of Appeal judge, has granted the family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu permission to appeal the UK High Court judgment that found that the British authorities could lawfully evade reaching any conclusion on whether Kanu has been tortured, subjected to extraordinary rendition and arbitrarily detained.
Kanu is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. He is being detained at the custody of the Department of State Services after being renditioned from Kenya to Nigeria in 2021.
