After being victimized by an extraordinary production, the British citizen brothers held in Nigeria accused the British government of turning away, calling on them to “wake up” and “protect British citizens.” I did.
Kingsley Canu, brother of Nandi Kanu, the indigenous leader of Biafra (IPOB), a prominent separatist movement banned in Nigeria, has not yet intervened in the case of his brother. I said that.
“To this day, the previous government and today’s governments said in an interview from Germany, Kingsley said:
“They should wake up to protect their British citizens. I think it's very surprising.”
The two double citizens and father, Nnamdi, was wanted by Nigerian authorities in 2015. This is the first time since the civil war, when Masbiafra separatist protests erupted for the first time after establishing the digital radio station Radio Biafra in his London home.
He fled on bail in 2017 after Nigerian security forces attacked his residence in an operation coded as Nigerian “Python Dance”; court documents show. At least 28 members of the IPOB were killed.
In 2021, Nnamdi was arrested by Nigerian authorities in Kenya and taken to Nigeria, an extraordinary performance of production – an illegal interstate transfer – family, lawyers, UN and Nigerian courts stated. He has since pleaded not guilty to 15 criminal charges related to terrorism and treason, seven of which are still facing.
The UK government previously faced a legal challenge from Kingsley Cane and was ultimately rejected. However, the judge found that Nadi was the subject of extraordinary production despite his refusal to take such views by many former foreign secretaries in Nigerian courts.
2023, UK Court of Appeals He said the government's position could be “different” if the Nigerian Supreme Court upheld the Nigerian Court of Appeals ruling.
Despite the Nigerian Supreme Court doing this now, Kingsley said the government has turned its back on his brother. The Nigerian Supreme Court ruling in December 2023 said it provided a clear route for the UK government to take action. However, Kingsley has not yet heard from Kiel's fourth prime minister during his brother's custody.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: He filed his case with Nigerian authorities. ”
According to his brother, Nnamdi has monthly consular visits. He can communicate with him through his lawyer and his younger brother. His family and lawyers have raised concerns about his treatment, primarily in solitary confinement, poor condition and without heart disease treatment.
“The High Court and Nigeria spoke,” Kingsley said. “We have to stand up to it, we have to implement it.”
The Nigerian Embassy was approached for comments.
