The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says it is taking the case of the continued detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) court, Vanguard reports.

In a statement signed on Tuesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Mr. Emma Powerful, IPOB said it taking the decision “to seek justice for him since the courts in Nigeria have decided not to give him justice”.

The statement read, “We IPOB and Directorate of State, DOS, IPOB, have concluded plans to take the continued illegal detention of our leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu to the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, court to seek justice for him since the courts in Nigeria have decided not to give him justice, in order to please their masters who have written the scripts the courts are playing.

“We want to tell the world that the withdrawal of the trial Judge, Mr. John Tsoho from the case is another way of continuing his detention and not only to save his name from the embarrassment he has caused himself with his role in the case. We know that he is still working with the Federal Government and Department of State Services, DSS, to convict Mr. Kanu either by hook or by crook.”
