This Suit was instituted in April 2022, to invite the Federal High Court to interprete the relevant sections of the Domestic and International Laws which the Nigerian Government and its lawless Security Agencies flouted in their criminal abduction and extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya.
Far reaching reliefs were sought by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in this suit, which would be granted when the interpretation of these laws are in the positive.
The matter came up today being the 11th day of July, 2023, for the Hearing of the suit, however the court could not proceed with the hearing as originally scheduled. The court insisted that it is limited to entertain only matters coming up for Ruling and Judgement, and consequently adjourned the suit.
However, it is imperative to emphasize that the fulcrum of the present suit, ie the questions we are asking the court to resolve in this present suit, have been effectively and holistically resolved by the judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered in favour of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on the 13th day of October, 2022, which is binding on this Federal High Court.
In view of the serious importance attached to all Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s cases, our Lead Counsel- Prof. Mike Ozekhome SAN, flew all the way from Calabar where he is currently engaged in election petition matters, to attend today’s proceeding and as usual, do justice to same, unfortunately, the matter did not go on.
We shall keep Ezigbo Umuchineke abreast of every development in Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case and every situation around him, even as we are relentlessly pursuing his unconditional release.
Thank you all and remain blessed.
We move!

Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq. (KSC)
