Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lawyer of the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to order Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce Kanu in court.
According to the lawyer, the suit became necessary because he last saw or heard from Kanu on 14 September when the Nigerian Army allegedly invaded his (Kanu) home.
Ejiofor alleged that the reported invasion of Kanu’s home left over 28 IPOB members dead and many others apprehended.
”We just filed an application for prerogative order of habeas corpus commanding the Chief of Army Staff to produce Nnamdi Kanu in court.
”On a murderous raid, where life and mortar bullets were fired on unarmed and defenseless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many,” the lawyer told Punch.
