According to Punch, the lawsuit on behalf of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against the Federal Government has been adjourned to November 19 by a Federal High Court in Abia State.

A member of Kanu’s legal counsel, Aloy Ejimakor disclosed this in an interview on Tuesday.

We had reported that Kanu through his lawyers had filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian government and the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF Abubakar Malami, SAN.

The suit is regarding matters relating to the IPOB leader’s extradition, alleged maltreatment by security operatives and his release.

The court had assigned the suit for hearing on November 2, 2021.

However, Ejimakor told our correspondent that the suit had been adjourned to a later date.

He said, “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s human rights suit which was slated for November 2, 2021, has been adjourned to November 19, 2021, by the Federal High Court in Abia.

“We are saddened by this development which primarily seeks the unconditional release of Kanu from his illegal detentions.”

The  IPOB leader is currently in the facilities of the Department of State Services while awaiting trial by the Nigerian government.

IPOB had called for a one-week sit-at-home in solidarity and for his unconditional release.
