An insider has given the reason behind the lengthy adjournment date given for the final ruling in the case between Nigerian Government and the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra. The source who exclusively spoke to Ifeanyi Chijioke said “The establishment is aware of this adjournment and the date was given for a reason which I will tell you. Nobody wants a situation the community will start a cold war with Nigerian Government. They have to get it right and the lengthy adjournment is simply based on that” the source said.

Recall that Nnamdi Kanu had approached the Community Court of Justice to compel Nigeria to respect the order of the court that granted him bail and accused the Federal Government of Nigeria of unlawful detention. He also urged the Court to order Nigeria to pay him a stipulated huge amount of money for rehabilitation and for unjust persecution.

Nnamdi Kanu was arrested for peacefully agitating for the restoration of sovereign State of Biafra; a Nation its sovereignty was taken in 1970 after a genocidal war that claimed over five million innocent lives of Biafrans; Buhari was a major perpetrator of that heinous crime. still nursing the pains that justice has eluded them; the same man that perpetrated the injustice was elected to rule over the people.

Self determination is a right and a legal act by virtue of UN 2007 Convention which gave Indigenous People the avenue to aspire for self rule within the confines of law.

Buhari had before the world said that no Court in Nigeria would be allowed to release Nnamdi Kanu until he agrees to negotiate or renounce Biafra; a position he has confirmed by flouting court orders that released him on December 16th and 17th respectively by Magistrate and High Court presided over by now maligned Justice Ademola.

“This matter has lingered so much and it is getting due attention; the man in question has been properly assessed and he is peaceful and lawful even in the face of utmost provocation” the source said and continued “Dasuki might be flouted because there is an issue; it is a worrisome development that Nigeria don’t recognize rule of law any longer”

“Nnamdi Kanu is a different matter; there is unprescedented sympathy and there is agitation already on ground; his matter is delicate and it can set a flame that will grow into...follow link to read more:
