1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB has said that the Kenya

2
00:00:04,240 –> 00:00:07,759
High Court ruling declaring the arrest and subsequent transfer of

3
00:00:07,799 –> 00:00:12,439
the detained IPOB leader Marzi Nandi Karanu to Nigeria has

4
00:00:12,480 –> 00:00:16,120
placed a permanent and indelible legal stain on the persons

5
00:00:16,160 –> 00:00:20,559
of former Kenya President Uhuru Kenyata and former Nigeria President

6
00:00:20,920 –> 00:00:25,399
Mohammadu Buhari, alongside the former Nigeria Attorney General of Federation

7
00:00:25,519 –> 00:00:32,039
and Minister of Justice, Abubakharmalami. IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful made

8
00:00:32,039 –> 00:00:34,560
this known in a statement issued in reaction to the

9
00:00:34,679 –> 00:00:37,920
verdict of a Federal High Court sitting in Nairobi, the

10
00:00:38,000 –> 00:00:41,600
Kenya state capital, presided over by Justice C. C. M Uita,

11
00:00:41,640 –> 00:00:44,799
who on June twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, ruled that

12
00:00:44,840 –> 00:00:49,479
the governments of Kenya and Nigeria violated Namdi Karnu’s human rights.

13
00:00:50,039 –> 00:00:54,039
Delivering judgment, Justice C. C. Anduta held that the actions

14
00:00:54,079 –> 00:00:57,200
of both the Kenya and Nigeria governments amounted to gross

15
00:00:57,280 –> 00:01:01,320
violations of Karnu’s fundamental human rights as protected by their

16
00:01:01,359 –> 00:01:06,560
respective constitutions. The court also awarded Carnu ten million Kenyan

17
00:01:06,640 –> 00:01:10,400
shillings in compensatory damages against the Kenyan government for its

18
00:01:10,519 –> 00:01:14,319
role in the unlawful abduction and rendition. Just as he

19
00:01:14,480 –> 00:01:17,680
seem me to held that, having considered the pleadings and

20
00:01:17,840 –> 00:01:22,000
arguments by parties, the decisions relied on the Constitution and

21
00:01:22,040 –> 00:01:26,400
the law, I come to the following conclusions. First, the

22
00:01:26,439 –> 00:01:30,920
Government of Kenya violated the Constitution and mister Nandi Krnu’s

23
00:01:31,040 –> 00:01:35,120
rights and fundamental freedoms. Having entered Kenya lawfully, he was

24
00:01:35,159 –> 00:01:38,400
subject to the protection offered by the Constitution of Kenya

25
00:01:38,480 –> 00:01:41,439
twenty ten and the Government of Kenya had an obligation

26
00:01:41,599 –> 00:01:46,079
to uphold and protect his rights and fundamental freedoms. Mister

27
00:01:46,519 –> 00:01:51,920
Nandi was, however, abducted, kept in solitude, confinement, tortured, and

28
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:56,319
denied food and medication, a breach of basic rights. He

29
00:01:56,400 –> 00:02:00,599
was chained, humiliated, ridiculed, and held in contempt and later

30
00:02:00,719 –> 00:02:04,359
forcibly removed from Kenya without following the law, in violation

31
00:02:04,519 –> 00:02:07,719
of his rights and fundamental freedoms for which the Government

32
00:02:07,760 –> 00:02:11,840
of Kenya is liable. Based on the above conclusions, the

33
00:02:11,919 –> 00:02:15,719
Court makes the following declarations and orders it considers appropriate.

34
00:02:16,159 –> 00:02:19,280
A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction of Mista

35
00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:23,680
in Monachine v. Namdi Kenni o Kukano, holding him in

36
00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:29,319
incommunicado confinement, torturing him and denying him food, water, medication

37
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:32,639
and other basic necessities was a violation of his rights

38
00:02:32,680 –> 00:02:37,080
and fundamental freedoms. A declaration is hereby issued that the

39
00:02:37,120 –> 00:02:41,599
abduction and subsequent forcible removal of Mista in Monokine v.

40
00:02:41,719 –> 00:02:44,879
Namdi Keni o Kukano from Kenya to Nigeria was in

41
00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:49,120
violation of the laws of Kenya, his rights and fundamental freedoms,

42
00:02:49,479 –> 00:02:53,080
including freedom of movement and security of the person guaranteed

43
00:02:53,120 –> 00:02:58,000
by the Constitution of Kenya twenty ten and therefore unconstitutional

44
00:02:58,039 –> 00:03:02,439
and illegal. An order for compensation is hereby issued awarding

45
00:03:02,479 –> 00:03:06,560
Mista in Monakine v. Nandi kenny Oku Kannu general damages

46
00:03:06,639 –> 00:03:11,039
ksh’s ten million, one hundred and nineteen million, five hundred

47
00:03:11,080 –> 00:03:14,719
and forty six thousand, five hundred and seventy six niras

48
00:03:14,759 –> 00:03:18,159
point seventy nine against the Attorney General of Kenya on

49
00:03:18,240 –> 00:03:21,039
behalf of the Government of Kenya for the violation of

50
00:03:21,120 –> 00:03:26,120
Mista in Monakine v. Nandi kenny Oku Kannu’s constitutional rights

51
00:03:26,120 –> 00:03:31,719
and fundamental freedoms. Reacting, the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB

52
00:03:31,919 –> 00:03:35,719
described the judgment as a landmark victory, saying it vindicates

53
00:03:35,759 –> 00:03:38,719
the group’s long standing position it described as sham and

54
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:43,879
farcical trial of its leader in Nigeria. The IPOB spokesperson

55
00:03:44,360 –> 00:03:47,759
m a powerful statement reads, thus, the Indigenous People of

56
00:03:47,800 –> 00:03:52,680
Biafra IPOB wishes to formally announce a resounding judicial earthquake

57
00:03:52,719 –> 00:03:56,039
that has shaken the legal foundations of the fordulent rendition

58
00:03:56,159 –> 00:04:00,560
of our leader, Honyandu Mazi Namdi Krnu. In a historic,

59
00:04:00,840 –> 00:04:05,000
courageous and landmark judgment delivered on June twenty fourth, twenty

60
00:04:05,039 –> 00:04:08,719
twenty five, the High Court of Kenya, sitting in Nairobi,

61
00:04:08,960 –> 00:04:13,039
found that the abduction in communicado, detention, torture and a

62
00:04:13,120 –> 00:04:17,720
legal transfer of Marzi Namdi Karu from Kenya two Nigeria

63
00:04:17,839 –> 00:04:22,079
in June twenty twenty one was unlawful, unconstitutional and a

64
00:04:22,120 –> 00:04:25,560
gross violation of his fundamental human rights under Kenyan and

65
00:04:25,639 –> 00:04:30,360
international law. This judgment vindicates our consistent position that what

66
00:04:30,519 –> 00:04:33,800
transpired in Nairobi in June twenty twenty one was not

67
00:04:33,920 –> 00:04:38,360
extradition but extraordinary rendition a criminal act of state sponsored

68
00:04:38,439 –> 00:04:42,600
international terrorism involving the highest authorities of the Nigerian and

69
00:04:42,680 –> 00:04:46,519
Kenyan governments. We are grateful beyond measure to the brilliant

70
00:04:46,560 –> 00:04:49,920
legal leadership of Professor P. L O La Mumba led

71
00:04:49,959 –> 00:04:54,519
Council in the Kenyan litigation, whose courage, clarity and tenacity

72
00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:59,720
led to this monumental legal victory. IPOB also extends heartfelt

73
00:04:59,720 –> 00:05:03,920
a preitiation to the Kenyan judiciary, especially Honorable Justice C.

74
00:05:04,040 –> 00:05:08,040
C and Uta, who stood tall against ferocious political interference

75
00:05:08,079 –> 00:05:12,000
and international diplomatic pressure to deliver a fearless judgment grounded

76
00:05:12,040 –> 00:05:17,240
in law, morality and constitutional justice. We know and now

77
00:05:17,279 –> 00:05:20,720
the world must acknowledge that Mazi Nandi Kanu did not

78
00:05:20,759 –> 00:05:24,560
commit any crime in Kenya. He entered Kenya lawfully as

79
00:05:24,560 –> 00:05:27,839
a British citizen. He was abducted in broad daylight at

80
00:05:27,920 –> 00:05:32,360
Jomo Kenyata International Airport by agents of Nigeria’s Secret Police

81
00:05:32,399 –> 00:05:36,560
in collusion with rogue elements of the Kenyan security apparatus.

82
00:05:36,959 –> 00:05:41,759
He was chained, tortured, denied medication and eventually bundled onto

83
00:05:41,800 –> 00:05:45,480
a private jet and flown illegally to Abuja without any extradition.

84
00:05:45,560 –> 00:05:49,639
Hearing or judicial warrant. This verdict place is a permanent

85
00:05:49,680 –> 00:05:53,079
and indelible legal stain on the records of former Presidents

86
00:05:53,199 –> 00:05:58,000
Uhuru Kenyata of Kenya, Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria and former

87
00:05:58,040 –> 00:06:03,240
Attorney General Abubakarmalami and their accomplices. It also exposes the

88
00:06:03,279 –> 00:06:08,839
criminal lobbying missions embarked upon by Nigerian leaders from Buhari,

89
00:06:09,240 –> 00:06:13,000
Osnbajo to Tanubu and Shatima, all of whom tried and

90
00:06:13,079 –> 00:06:16,720
failed to manipulate Kenya’s judiciary to cover up this internationally

91
00:06:16,759 –> 00:06:20,639
condemned act of extraordinary rendition. Let it be known that

92
00:06:20,680 –> 00:06:23,240
this is not the end. This is the beginning of

93
00:06:23,279 –> 00:06:29,000
a global accountability campaign. All those responsible in Kenya, Nigeria

94
00:06:29,480 –> 00:06:32,360
or elsewhere shall be pursued to the ends of the

95
00:06:32,399 –> 00:06:36,839
earth under the universal principle of accountability for crimes against humanity.

96
00:06:37,639 –> 00:06:42,000
Neither British diplomatic complicity nor cowardly silence from Western powers

97
00:06:42,000 –> 00:06:46,040
will shield the perpetrators from the legal, diplomatic and moral

98
00:06:46,079 –> 00:06:49,920
reckoning that is coming to Justice e c Emuta. We

99
00:06:50,040 –> 00:06:53,680
say thank you for your judicial bravery to Professor p

100
00:06:53,920 –> 00:06:56,680
l O La Mumba and his team. We salute your

101
00:06:56,720 –> 00:07:00,680
exceptional advocacy to the oppressed peoples of the world. World.

102
00:07:00,839 –> 00:07:04,199
This is your victory, a warning to tyrants that international

103
00:07:04,199 –> 00:07:08,120
borders will no longer shield criminal regimes from justice. The

104
00:07:08,199 –> 00:07:11,800
statement added. We had reported that the case between the

105
00:07:11,800 –> 00:07:14,839
Federal Government of Nigeria and the detained leader of the

106
00:07:14,839 –> 00:07:18,879
Indigenous People of Biafra, Nandi Kalu, apparently took a new

107
00:07:18,959 –> 00:07:21,920
technical twist on Thursday after one of the lawyers of

108
00:07:21,959 –> 00:07:26,920
the detained Biafra leader, Paul Rikoro Sam, presented and played

109
00:07:26,959 –> 00:07:30,360
three videos which the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja

110
00:07:30,439 –> 00:07:34,319
later admitted in evidence. The videos of former Nigeria Chief

111
00:07:34,360 –> 00:07:39,959
of Army Staff, Retired General Theophilis Danjuma saying security operatives

112
00:07:40,040 –> 00:07:43,680
in the West Africa country, specifically the armed forces are

113
00:07:43,720 –> 00:07:47,680
working together with the armed bandits to kill Nigerians, stressing

114
00:07:47,720 –> 00:07:51,240
that if Nigerians depend on the armed forces to curb

115
00:07:51,279 –> 00:07:54,800
in security, they will all die one by one. Also

116
00:07:54,879 –> 00:07:58,959
that of Governor Hope Uzodamur Ofvaimo’s States saying politicians are

117
00:07:58,959 –> 00:08:02,759
behind killings in date. Lastly, and the most interesting video

118
00:08:02,839 –> 00:08:05,639
played at the court to counter the testimony or statement

119
00:08:05,759 –> 00:08:09,519
made by the DSS prosecutor witness over Namdi Kanu led

120
00:08:09,560 –> 00:08:14,759
Ipo be founding Eastern Security Network ESN, allegedly created by

121
00:08:14,839 –> 00:08:18,560
group of youths in the Southeastern geopolitical Zone of Nigeria

122
00:08:18,639 –> 00:08:22,759
often referred to as biafraland to fight in self defense

123
00:08:22,800 –> 00:08:26,399
against Fulani armed bandits or terrorists that were advancing and

124
00:08:26,480 –> 00:08:29,279
killing people in the Eastern States during the era of

125
00:08:29,360 –> 00:08:33,080
President Mohammadu Buhari. Was that of the Director General of

126
00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:38,120
the Department of State Services DSS, Adeola j who is

127
00:08:38,200 –> 00:08:41,320
apparently the government chief complainer in the case and the

128
00:08:41,399 –> 00:08:45,919
DSSDG in the video recorded and published by Symphony News

129
00:08:45,960 –> 00:08:50,759
Media in February twenty twenty five, narrated how youths Adasare

130
00:08:50,960 –> 00:08:55,559
community in Katagum Local Government Area and Tafawa belay Were

131
00:08:55,639 –> 00:08:59,519
community of Tafawa bele Were Local Government Area in Bauchi

132
00:08:59,639 –> 00:09:03,240
State when the DSSDG was the State Director of State

133
00:09:03,320 –> 00:09:07,440
Security Services SS resorted to self help and killed all

134
00:09:07,519 –> 00:09:11,039
Boko Haram terrorists that came to attack them without depending

135
00:09:11,080 –> 00:09:15,120
on the security operatives. According to the d SSDG, when

136
00:09:15,159 –> 00:09:19,519
Boko Haram terrorists invaded Azare community, they started shooting and

137
00:09:19,600 –> 00:09:23,480
killing people. Then the youths went after the Boko Haram

138
00:09:23,559 –> 00:09:26,279
terrorists and killed all of them. Even when one of

139
00:09:26,320 –> 00:09:29,919
the Boko Haram terrorists named Khalid climbed a tree and

140
00:09:30,039 –> 00:09:33,519
started firing gunshots from the tree towards the people who

141
00:09:33,519 –> 00:09:36,720
were on the lower ground, the Azare people resisted and

142
00:09:36,799 –> 00:09:40,320
went after him and subsequently killed him. Although the Federal

143
00:09:40,360 –> 00:09:45,399
government prosecution witness identified as BBB, who is a DSS operative,

144
00:09:45,519 –> 00:09:49,120
stated that the ESN is an illegal organization because there

145
00:09:49,200 –> 00:09:52,080
is no approval of government given to the people of

146
00:09:52,159 –> 00:09:55,639
Southeast to establish such a self help group to defend

147
00:09:55,720 –> 00:09:59,679
their land against terrorists, unlike AMOTEC and Security Network in

148
00:09:59,720 –> 00:10:02,639
the South Southwest States that was approved and permitted by

149
00:10:02,679 –> 00:10:06,799
the government, also claiming his boss, the DSSDG in the

150
00:10:06,879 –> 00:10:10,399
video was asking communities to build the first line of

151
00:10:10,480 –> 00:10:14,960
defense by thus working with security operatives. But a careful

152
00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:18,399
and detailed study of the DSSDG speech in the video

153
00:10:18,519 –> 00:10:22,679
shows that the FG witness VBB probably talked off points

154
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:26,200
totally off key from the original intent and intention of

155
00:10:26,320 –> 00:10:30,919
mister Adeola Jane, the DSSDG teachings and advice in the video,

156
00:10:31,360 –> 00:10:34,600
who had said the Azare community people acted in quick

157
00:10:34,639 –> 00:10:38,759
response to an emergency situation, and the storyline indicated that

158
00:10:38,799 –> 00:10:42,759
the people of Azare prepared themselves in advance, likely purchasing

159
00:10:42,799 –> 00:10:47,000
and acquiring firearms equivalent to AK forty seven riffles to

160
00:10:47,039 –> 00:10:49,679
be able to face and kill all the Boco Harum

161
00:10:49,799 –> 00:10:53,519
terrorists that invaded the community as narrated by the DSSDG,

162
00:10:54,000 –> 00:10:57,720
and if true, the DSSDG the chief complainer must also

163
00:10:57,840 –> 00:11:00,600
be ordered to appear before the court has das defender

164
00:11:00,679 –> 00:11:03,399
in the case to present a certified true copy of

165
00:11:03,480 –> 00:11:07,559
government approval given to Azare people to defend themselves or

166
00:11:07,639 –> 00:11:11,480
proved beyond reasonable doubts how the people of Azare community

167
00:11:11,559 –> 00:11:14,559
were able to kill merely with the bare hands or

168
00:11:14,679 –> 00:11:18,320
the Boco param terrorists that invaded their community with high

169
00:11:18,399 –> 00:11:22,960
precision weapons of mass destructions. In addition, the DSSDG in

170
00:11:23,000 –> 00:11:27,240
the video probably advocated for the need for all individuals

171
00:11:27,240 –> 00:11:30,360
in Nigeria to have a gun because he gave an

172
00:11:30,399 –> 00:11:34,360
example of a visit to the United States of America USA.

173
00:11:34,679 –> 00:11:37,679
When his host in the US heard a police siren sound,

174
00:11:37,960 –> 00:11:40,440
he quickly brought out his gun and said if the

175
00:11:40,480 –> 00:11:44,360
criminal chased after by the US police ran into his apartment,

176
00:11:44,919 –> 00:11:47,399
he would use the gun to kill the criminal suspect

177
00:11:47,679 –> 00:11:50,759
and that not all the DSSDG in the video also

178
00:11:50,879 –> 00:11:54,480
recalled and referenced the words of nigeria former Head of State,

179
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:59,440
Retired General Ibrahem Badamassi Babingida that if insecurity must end

180
00:11:59,480 –> 00:12:03,320
in Nigeria, Nigerians must be ready to resort to self

181
00:12:03,440 –> 00:12:07,159

00:15:15,919 –> 00:15:19,960
CJN on the ground that Nigeria courts under her leadership

230
00:15:20,039 –> 00:15:23,320
have no jurisdiction over the freedom fighter’s case due to

231
00:15:23,399 –> 00:15:26,639
the way and manner he was forcefully extradited from Kenya

232
00:15:26,679 –> 00:15:30,440

266
00:17:41,599 –> 00:17:45,240
the Chief Judge of Federal High Court in Nigeria, Justice

267
00:17:45,319 –> 00:17:48,599
John Tahember Soho, has rejected the verbal plea by the

268
00:17:48,640 –> 00:17:53,400
detained Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB leader Namdi Kano for

269
00:17:53,440 –> 00:17:56,759
the trial judge in the case, Justice Binton Yako, to

270
00:17:56,799 –> 00:18:01,240
withdraw being the judge over the lawsuits. Justice Soho stated

271
00:18:01,240 –> 00:18:04,640
that Krnu’s case was reassigned to Justice Nyako due to

272
00:18:04,720 –> 00:18:09,119
its prolonged nature dating back to twenty fifteen. Given that

273
00:18:09,359 –> 00:18:12,319
Justice Nyako had handled the case for the most part,

274
00:18:12,720 –> 00:18:15,160
she was deemed the most suitable judge to see it

275
00:18:15,240 –> 00:18:19,480
through to its conclusion. However, the Chief Judge directed that

276
00:18:19,519 –> 00:18:22,319
if at the next hearing of the case, Carnu still

277
00:18:22,359 –> 00:18:25,880
insists on recusing Justice Nyako, he must file a written

278
00:18:25,920 –> 00:18:29,480
motion with an affidavit stating all the grants for requesting

279
00:18:29,480 –> 00:18:33,519
the recusal. We had reported in September twenty twenty four
