OZEKHOME WRITES MALAMI, SEEKS NNAMDI KANU’S IMMEDIATE RELEASE (LETTER)

The Lead Counsel to detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) has written to the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN) seeking the “immediate and unconditional release” of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

In a letter obtained by CITY LAWYER and dated October 17, 2022, Ozekhome said the application for Kanu’s release was based on the strength of the Court of Appeal decision which discharged Kanu, urging Malami to “immediately comply with the judgment of the Court herein attached.” The letter was received by Malami’s office the same day.

He also asked Malami to “order the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, now being illegally held in solitary confinement in State Security Service facility at the Abuja Headquarters.”

BREAKING: KIDNAPPERS FREE 2 LAW SCHOOL STUDENTS

The two Nigerian Law School students kidnapped last week by gunmen have regained their freedom after spending one week in the kidnappers’ den.

CITY LAWYER gathered that the students may have been freed yesterday and have since resumed lectures at the Agbani Campus of the Nigerian Law School.

Efforts by CITY LAWYER to reach the kidnap victims proved abortive as their telephone lines were switched off.

CITY LAWYER recalls that the students were reportedly snatched by gunmen around 8 pm last Wednesday while at the Eke Agbani Market to buy foodstuff.

A source had told newsmen that “Two Nigerian Law School students were kidnapped yesterday night by unidentified gunmen at Eke market, Agbani, Enugu.

“Actually, four students were in the car that belonged to one of the students. The students left the campus to get food around 8pm. However, two students managed to escape at gunpoint. We are yet to hear anything from the abductors.”

A source who is familiar with the matter told CITY LAWYER that both the leadership of the Council of Legal Education and Nigerian Law School “were deeply concerned about the incident and made spirited efforts to secure the release of the students. We are happy that they could rejoin their colleagues for the forthcoming Bar Finals exams.”
