A kinsman to the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, praying it to order British High Commission and Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, to arrest and repatriate him from the United Kingdom back to Nigeria to stand his trial.
The plaintiff, Mr. Ugochukwu Kenneth, who hails from Afara in Umuahia, Abia State, Kanu’s village, in his suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/9300/17 and dated October 4, also accused the British government of aiding IPOB.

He maintained that Kanu was assisted by the British government to illegally travel out of the country to escape prosecution.
The plaintiff, through his lawyer, Mr. Obor John, told the court that Kanu’s disappearance has placed the lawmaker representing his constituency in the National Assembly, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, who was one of his sureties, in danger of being arrested.
He said: “That I know as a fact that if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who has travelled to the United Kingdom in an attempt to escape justice, fails to appear in court on the next adjourned date, being October 17, 2017, the freedom of the senator representing my district and other co-sureties will be in jeopardy.
