A case filed on the infringement of the rights of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, against the Federal Government by his counsels, has been adjourned to November 19.
The adjournment was announced on Tuesday by Aloy Ejimakor, one of Kanu’s counsels.
The IPOB leader had, through his lawyers, filed a lawsuit against the Federal Government and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, challenging the treatment allegedly meted out to him by agents of the state.
He challenged his extradition and alleged maltreatment by the security operatives, and their refusal to release him.
The matter, which was slated for hearing today, was adjourned to Friday, November 19.
Counsel to the IPOB leader said, “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s human rights suit, which was slated for November 2, has been adjourned to November 19 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.”
IPOB had called for a one-week sit-at-home to press home their call for his unconditional release from the custody of the Department of State Services while awaiting trial.
