Era Of Filing Frivolous Charges Against Kanu Is Gone – IPOB Slams Malami

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have accused the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, of “filing dead charges” against their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The embattled Nnamdi Kanu was discharged and acquitted of all terrorism charges by the Abuja Appeal Court.

Despite the court order, the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration refused to release the IPOB leader, instead filing an appeal with the Supreme Court.

In addition, the Federal Government filed an amended seven-count charge against Kanu in a Federal High Court.

In a statement, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, accused AGF Malami of attempting to tear down Nigeria’s criminal justice system and judiciary.

Powerful, who described him as Nigeria’s most corrupt law officer, said the Minister of Justice is making a mockery of the judicial system.

Filing amended charges after the decision of an Appeal Court, according to the pro-Biafra activist, was an affront to the court’s ruling.

Part of a statement reads: “We, the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, condemn the rumored new amended charge filed by Malami and his cohorts against our indefatigable Kanu, even after the Court of Appeal has discharged and acquitted him of all criminal allegations.

“This is a clear indication that Malami is really a quota system SAN who have no business or knowledge near the legal profession.

“Our Simple understanding and knowledge are that the judgment of the court is a problem to Malami and APC Government, no wonder, under Malami reign as the Chief law officer of the Federation, he has been rated among the most corrupt legal officer and his Ministry is presently entangled in plethora of corruption allegations that bothers on embezzlement of public fund.

“If Malami the Attorney General likes let him go to his native Kebbi state and file fresh charges in a sharia court against our indefatigable leader KANU, he is not only wasting his time, he is making a mockery of purported legal training and the Judiciary of Nigeria.

“The era of filing frivolous charges against KANU is gone and gone forever.”
