British Government said it has write the Nigerian government for a detailed explanation on the arrest of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
According to the Head of Communications, British High Commission, Mr Dean Hurlock, he told Punch that the commission was in the process of taking necessary step towards ensuring due process is followed in Kanu’s trial.
Recall that Kanu, who is facing trial for treasonable felony, jumped bail in 2017 and fled the country for the UK when soldiers stormed his parents’ residence at Afaraukwu, Abia State.
On Tuesday, he was re-arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, two days after he was arrested and extradited to the country. He is still being remanded in the custody of the Department of State Services by the Federal High Court.
The UK, which had on Tuesday said Kanu, who is also a British citizen, was not arrested within its territory, made further clarifications on Wednesday. Meanwhile, IPOB leader younger brother, Kingsley Kanu, in a statement on Wednesday said Nnamdi Kanu was arrested in Kenya.
He said Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest was unlawful, saying he had been subjected to the most and serious violations of international law. Kingsley Kanu said, “News has reached Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s family that he has been unlawfully arrested in Kenya.”
