BREAKING: Nnamdi Kanu Files Two Suits Against Violation Of His Rights, Demands Transfer Of Case To South-East, Speedy Trial, N100billion Damages.

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has recently initiated legal actions addressing alleged violations of his rights:

1. Defamation Lawsuit Against Bashir Ahmad: In January 2025, Kanu filed a defamation suit against Bashir Ahmad, former Special Assistant on Digital Communication to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari. The lawsuit, submitted to the High Court of Enugu State, seeks ₦100 billion in damages. This action responds to Ahmad’s public remarks labeling Kanu a “terrorist” and asserting that advocates for his release are “enemies of Nigeria.” Kanu contends these statements are defamatory and damaging to his reputation. www.multilinks.biz
2. Fundamental Rights Violation Suit Against the Federal Government: In October 2022, Kanu filed a suit against the Federal Government at the Federal High Court in Abuja. He demanded his immediate release from the Department of State Services (DSS) custody and sought ₦100 billion in reparations for alleged violations of his rights to liberty and dignity. This legal action followed the Court of Appeal’s October 13, 2022, decision, which discharged him of terrorism charges. Despite this ruling, Kanu remained in detention, prompting the lawsuit. www.multilinks.biz
