Kanu: Canadian justice minister attacks Malami, demands sanctions against Nigeria
The Minister of Justice and Solicitor-General of the Government of Alberta, Canada, Kelechi Madu, has slammed the Nigerian Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, over the re-arrest of the self acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Madu, in a post on his Linkedin page, said if reports that Kanu was abducted from Kenya were true, Malami was not only a disgrace to the rule of law, but also not worthy to be a public officer.
the Canadian official, who is also the Deputy Government House Leader, said Nigeria and Kenya violated international law in the manner Kanu was extradited, and called on world leaders to apply appropriate sanctions.
Kanu, who is facing a treasonable felony, jumped bail in 2017 and fled the country for the United Kingdom when soldiers stormed his parents’ residence at Afaraukwu, Abia State.
Malami, has announced last Tuesday that, he was rearrested through the collaborative efforts of Nigerian Intelligence and Security Services.
The Abia state indigene was taken before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, where an application for his remand in the Department of State Services, custody was granted.
