In the judgment prepared by Justice Garba Mohammed, the court condemned the invasion of Kanu’s residence, declaring it irresponsible.
However, IPOB described Kanu’s continuous detention as “unconstitutional”, saying that self-determination is legal as supported by the United Nations laws and by the Africa Union Charter.
IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, commended Anambra and Enugu state governors, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo and Dr Peter Mba, respectively, on their call for the unconditional release of the pro-Biafran leader.
Meanwhile, Abaribe encouraged Ndigbo not to despair over the unfortunate outcome at the Supreme Court.
His statement read, “I’m of the firm belief that this current Federal Government will do something very fast to release Nnamdi Kanu, if for no other reason, but for national cohesion and unity of the country.
“As Leaders, we shall continue to press for a solution that will be the best in the circumstance,” the lawmaker assured.
