The Nigerian Government has lost its bid to transfer the suit of the extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, from Umuahia to Abuja, as the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, insisted that it has the jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit.
This was disclosed by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, in a tweet stressing that the matter was still ongoing.
The Special Counsel was challenging Kanu’s abduction and extraordinary rendition from Kenya, even as he is, among other things, praying the court to order his return to Kenya, where he was abducted, or the UK, his country of abode.
