A statement by Powerful reads partly: “The Noble family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the great leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu hereby bring the attention of the public that the Nigeria Government will continue the kangaroo persecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in another court sitting tomorrow 24th September 2024.
“The continuous illegal Court trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is nothing but political and ethnic persecution and ethnic because the Appeal Court judgement that discharged him is still subsisting.
“The Nigerian Government lacks prosecutory powers against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu per the subsisting judgement of the Appeal Court. Moreso, the Nigerian Government is in violation of International laws for the kidnapping and rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.
“Even the Supreme Court of Nigeria condemned his kidnap and rendition from Kenya to Nigeria. But for fear of the threat from a lawless and rascal executive government, the Supreme Court Judges were afraid to affirm the courageous judgement of the Appeal Court.
