The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday declared as unlawful the rendition of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya.
A three-member panel of the appellate court also quashed the terrorism charge brought against him by the Federal Government.
The court held that the 15-count charge preferred against Kanu did not disclose the place, date, time and nature of the alleged offences before being unlawfully extradited to Nigeria in clear violation of international treaties.
The court further held that the Federal Government failed to disclose where Nnamdi Kanu was arrested despite the grave allegations against him.
The Court of Appeal was of the view that the Federal Government breached all local and international laws in the forceful rendition of Kanu to Nigeria thereby making the terrorism charge against him incompetent and unlawful
