Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has offered one million naira to students of Nigerian law school.<\/p>\n
Kanu offered the money to any law student who could provide authority when a judge granted a stay of release of a person acquitted by the court.<\/p>\n
This was disclosed by Kanu\u2019s legal team led by his lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Jude Ugwuanyi, Nnaemeka Ejiofor, and Mandela Umegborogu in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Speaking on behalf of the lawyers, Ejiofor said: \u201cMazi Nnamdi Kanu pledges to give any law student in any Nigerian University the sum of One Million (N1, 000, 000.00) Naira if such student finds any precedent on stay of execution in criminal proceedings where an acquitted person is by such order restrained from enjoying his freedom.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an illegality that would hunt Nigeria for as long as life endures. But then, it was granted because Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is of Igbo descendants and must suffer, notwithstanding what the law says.\u201d<\/p>\n
The legal team also insisted that Kanu\u2019s contentious detention was illegal and without any court backing.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cIt is noteworthy that Onyendu\u2019s continual detention at the Department of State Security Service is illegal and not predicated on any Court Order. Recall that Onyendu was remanded on the purport that Onyendu jumped bail.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the decision of the Court of Appeal, all the charges for which Onyendu is being tried were quashed for want of jurisdiction and in violation of the Extradition Acts of both Kenya and Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cJustice Tsamani of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division unlawfully granted an Order staying the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis order was illegally granted and never in the history of any country\u2019s jurisprudence had an acquitted person been denied his release from detention by way of stay of execution.\u201d<\/p>\n
