Nnamdi Kanu, Leader Of Biafra Drags FG To ECOWAS Court Over Illegal Detention

Detained leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, has dragged the Federal Government and Department of State Services (DSS) to Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) court to seek for justice over illegal detention.


Forty-six-year- old  Kanu had been arrested by the DSS  at Murtala Muhammed International Airport  Lagos in October, 2015,  on his way back from the United kingdom (UK) and since then, has been in detention and trial over alleged treasonable felony.

IPOB instituted the case which would come up today (October 5, 2016) because the Nigeria judiciary could not deliver judgment in the matter concerning illegal detention of its leader, Kanu.

A statement from the Media and Publicity Secretary, Mr. Emma Powerful, alleged that the Federal Government had also started making moves to rubbish the courts managed by ECOWAS, thinking that it was a Nigeria court it could manipulate.

He said they went to ECOWAS court because of the illegal detention of Kanu which, he said, has sparked condemnation from notable people across the world.

Powerful also called for the release of its leader, Kanu, who has been detained illegally by the DSS and the Nigeria government in Kuje prison, Abuja even after two courts had granted him bail.

“We are also worried why the democratically elected government of President Buhari cannot obey court order in Nigeria and why his advisers cannot afford to let him know that the continued detention of Kanu and other IPOB members, without trial, will bring down the image of his government.”

By the competent court of jurisdiction in Abuja and Justice John Tsoho, who was handling the matter recently hands off the case and was allegedly disgraced out of the case because he wanted to rubbish the judiciary,” Powerful stated.

US Presidential Election Update: Clinton camp cheers Trump promise to live-tweet VP debate

 Donald Trump won’t be on stage for Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, but he plans to make himself heard.

Several hours before the debate was scheduled to start, Trump announced that he would be “live tweeting” as his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, faced off against the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Sen. Tim Kaine.


Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Other Clinton aides also joined in cheering Trump’s vow.

Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, laughed when Yahoo News informed him of Trump’s plan. “That would be great if he did,” Mook said.

The Clinton campaign’s communications director had a similarly positive reaction when reporters told her that Trump would be live-tweeting.

“Good!” Palmieri said.

Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta also weighed in on Twitter:

Meanwhile, Republican National Committee chief strategist, Sean Spicer, who has been advising the Trump campaign, said Trump’s tweets would add an intriguing element to the vice presidential debate.

“It’s definitely going to be a new twist in this already interesting cycle,” Spicer said.

Trump’s tweets have previously gotten him into hot water on the campaign trail. At the end of last week, Trump posted a flurry of messages criticizing media coverage of his campaign. His tweeting continued into the wee hours of Friday morning, as he attacked former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, who has accused him of body-shaming her when the mogul owned the beauty pageant 20 years ago.

The Clinton campaign mocked the late night tweets as a “meltdown,” calling Trump “unhinged,” and the episode made waves of negative headlines. Just before Trump’s Twitter feud, he had closed his gap with Clinton in the polls, adopting what his campaign described as a “more disciplined” approach.

Yahoo News asked Clinton’s traveling press secretary, Nick Merrill, if Clinton was planning to live-tweet the debate.

“I don’t think so,” he said.
