Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has sued Ahmed Abubakar, the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, for imprisoning him in Kenya, demanding N20 billion in compensation.
Alloy Ejimakor, the IPOB leader’s special attorney, revealed this on Wednesday morning via his Twitter feed, where he uploaded an image of the complaint filed, in which he termed Nnamdi Kanu’s confinement in Kenya as “false imprisonment.”
Ejimakor stated that the action was motivated by new evidence accusing the DG that went beyond the “infamous extraordinary rendition.”
“Yesterday (Wednesday), I filed a complaint against Ahmed Abubakar, the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), for his eight days’ ‘false incarceration’ of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in discovered evidence that implicated the DG/NIA beyond the infamous extraordinary rendition,” Ejimakor added.
The court, according to the suit, granted Abubakar 14 days to appear or be represented in court, adding that failure to appear would result in a decision being rendered in the DG’s absence.
