The indigenous people of Biafra took the Nigerian government to ECOWAS court today demanding for justice for the unlawful detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; but surprisingly, the Nigerian Defense Council absconded from the court sitting. However, they submitted a letter only this morning claiming they have a case in Kaduna, as the sole reason for their absence. At the beginning of the court session, Nigerian government, through the Minister of Justice applied for adjournment. There was a short interrogation between the ECOWAS judge, Hon. Justice Friday Nwoke and Nnamdi Kanu’s Counsel, Barr. Ifeanyi Ejioffor. Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor pleaded to be given compensation of one million naira, as a result of his wasted transportation fare. He also pleaded for short adjournment of the trial. His pleas were granted, and the case was adjourned to November 8 2016. According to the presiding judge, the proceedings must hold on November 8 whether the Nigerian government appears in court or not.
