A high court in Abia State has ordered the federal government to pay N1 billion to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, as well as write him an apology letter.
Kanu has petitioned the court for N5 billion in compensation for the military’s raid of his father’s home on September 10, 2017.
According to his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, the Federal Government breached the IPOB leader’s fundamental rights in a judgement handed down on Wednesday by Justice Benson Anya.
The Court also suggested a political solution to IPOB’s campaign for the restoration of the former Biafra Republic.
Kanu’s lawyer made this known in a tweet, saying, “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu WINS as Abia High Court rules that the Federal Government violated his fundamental rights. Orders the Federal government to pay N1b to him and issue a letter of apology to him.
“Most importantly, the Court recommended political solution to the #Biafran agitation.”
