The move by leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu to win his appeal against the United Kingdom (UK) government regarding his detention in Nigeria has hit the brickwall.
Recall Kanu has remained in Department of State Service (DSS) custody for two years after he was repatriated to Nigerian from Nairobi, Kenya in June 2021.
The British passport holder had filed and appeal in London last year demanding UK government to intervene in his case with Nigerian government when he approached UK courts to obtain an order compelling the Federal Government to take a stand and publicly condemn his detention
The court, however, dismissed his case on Thursday, March 23, 2023
Kanu, then, filed an appeal with the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal, Royal Courts of Justice, in London, to challenge the High Court’s ruling but his effort to file for an appeal failed to yield positive fruits.
