The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Sunday, accused
the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami of trying to
destroy the criminal justice system and judiciary in Nigeria.
IPOB made the remark while stressing that “filing dead
charges” against Kanu was an affront against the court judgment ordering Kanu’s
release.
Recall that the Federal Government had filed an amended
seven-count charge against Kanu.
Condemning the move, IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, accused
Malami of making a mockery of the judicial system.
Powerful said filing amended charges after the judgment of
an Appeal Court was an affront of the ruling of the court.
A statement by Powerful reads partly:” 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 is that the
judgement 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.”
The Appeal Court in Abuja had discharged and acquitted Kanu
of all terrorism charges against him.
Despite the court order, the Nigerian Government refused to
release the IPOB leader.
Kanu has been locked up since last year when he was arrested
in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria.
Following his arrest, the Nigerian Government had
rearraigned him before an Abuja Federal High Court.
