Nnamdi Kanu, the head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group that has been declared illegal, will be the subject of an October 27 hearing before the Federal High Court in Umuahia.
The IPOB leader had submitted an 8-point plea through his attorney, Aloy Ejimakor, regarding a purported Federal Government attack on his country residence and an extraordinary rendition from Kenya.
The infamous unlawful expulsion or extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu, which is alleged to be a violation of his fundamental rights under Article 12(4) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights as well as Chapter IV of the Nigerian Constitution, is what the case seeks to address, according to Ejimakor.
He pleaded with the court to address the several wrongs committed during the rendition, including the use of torture, illegal detention, and denial of the right to a fair trial, which is necessary by law before anyone is sent from one nation to another.

The matter of fundamental human rights was postponed for two weeks by Justice Evelyn Anyadike, who presided over the court on Tuesday.
Due to the submission of counteraffidavits presented to the judge by the counsels, the judge set a new date for the decision.
On June 25, 2021, Kanu was once again taken into custody, this time in Kenya, and brought back to Nigeria to stand trial. At the Federal High Court in Abuja, Kanu and his co-defendant are accused of committing a treasonable offence.
The Department of State Services has had custody of him for 15 months.
In March of this year, Kanu’s extraordinary rendition lawsuit was submitted to the court.
