Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, has responded to the Court of Appeal’s decision in Abuja on Thursday, October 13, quashing the charges against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, saying that Kanu was only discharged by the court and not acquitted.
Malami’s Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Umar Gwandu, said in a statement signed and released on Thursday, October 13th, that the court’s decision was on a single issue bordering on rendition.
The statement went on to say that there were other issues that existed prior to Kanu’s rendition, “on the basis of which Kanu jumped bail,” and that they were still “valid issues for judicial determination.”
It went on to say that the Federal Government would continue to pursue pre-rendition issues while considering all available options in light of the rendition judgment.
