Ejimakor states that the ongoing advocacy for Kanu’s release should not be misinterpreted, as his detention is deemed extrajudicial and unconstitutional.
Rather, it is a matter of adhering to a valid court order or an international tribunal decision that has declared his detention illegal.
Ejimakor also highlights a constitutional suit he filed, which led to a ruling in October 2022 declaring the extraordinary rendition and subsequent detention as clear violations of the constitution.
He asserts that Kanu’s fate does not rest solely on this appeal, as multiple cases, both domestically and internationally, aim to secure his release.
Conclusion:
