Protesters Flood British High Commission, Insists UK Must Produce Kanu To Face Trial

A civil society organisation, Advocates of Social Justice for All, has called on the Government of the United Kingdom to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to face his trial in the country.

Last month, a Federal High Court in Abuja declared IPOB a terrorist organization after the Federal Government proscribed it and approached the court for an order to declare it a terror group.

Shortly after IPOB was outlawed, Kanu disappeared.

It was however speculated that he might have fled to the UK.

The Nigerian Government is unhappy that despite the overwhelming evidence that Kanu is now in the UK, the Bristish High Commission is feigning ignorance and also demanding for his whereabout.

Patriot Asogo Venantius Torkuma‎, the ASJA Executive Director, who led the protest, vowed to occupy the UK High Commission daily until Kanu is produced by the UK authorities.

The protesters numbering over 1,000 defied the heavy down pour in Abuja and demanded for Kanu’s extradition back to the country to face charges.
