Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyers ask Court to order Army to Produce IPOB leader

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, which has recently been designated as a terrorist organisation has been declared missing by his team of lawyers.

Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor who leads Kanu’s legal team said it had therefore on Wednesday filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja praying for an order directing the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce Kanu in court.

According to Punch News, Mr. Ejiofor disclosed ‎this in a text message sent to their correspondent today.

“We just filed an application for prerogative order of habeas corpus commanding the Chief of Army Staff to produce Nnamdi Kanu in court,”.

According to Ejiofor, a draft copy filed on Wednesday stated that the Chief of Army Staff, was in the best position to produce Kanu in court.

This, the suit stated was because, Kanu was last seen after soldiers, on September 14, invaded the IPOB leaders house in Afara-ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia Abia State, “on a murderous raid, where life and mortar bullets were fired on unarmed and defenseless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many”.
