According to the Federal Government, Nnamdi Kanu, the head of the Indigenous People of Biafra, is still being held by the police.
In a statement made on Monday, FG claimed that Kanu poses a flight risk. This assertion was made by FG in an affidavit that it submitted in support of its request to halt the judgment’s execution.
The case against Kanu, according to the FG, “borders on national security,” and he was labeled as “a flight risk individual.”
“The Respondent is a flight risk person. It is important to appreciate the gamut of depositions in our application.
“One of the ground of our application is that this matter touches on national security of the state.
“We rely on the case of FRN Vs Dokubo, where the Supreme Court held that where national security is threatened or likelihood of it being threatened, human rights take secondary place.
“Once there is a threat to national security, human rights of any individual can be suspended until such threat is taken care of.
