Proscribed Igbo separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Nigerian Supreme Court of employing delay tactics with the instrumentality of adjournments to subvert the cause of justice in the case of its incarcerated leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The Biafra agitation group which raised the alarm following a report by Kanu’s lead counsel, Mike Ozekhome, announcing the cancellation of the date earlier scheduled for hearing of Kanu’s appeal, described the development as part of plans to keep Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) perpetually.
In a statement on Tuesday by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group expressed its disappointed at the tactics being employed by the court, noting that the Supreme Court’s reason that a September 14 date earlier scheduled for hearing of the case has caught up with its yearly vacation is flimsy and an afterthought.
