Supreme Court Rules Nigerian Government’s Actions Against Nnamdi Kanu Constitutes Terrorism, Says IPOB

IPOB has accused the Presidency and the Federal Government of engaging in acts of terrorism against its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, by deliberately withholding the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the Supreme Court’s December judgment. The group contends that this action violates Section 2 (3)(f) of the Terrorism Act, making the government, the presidency, and the Supreme Court justices, in essence, terrorists under Nigerian law.

According to Emma Powerful, the spokesperson for IPOB, the failure to release the CTC confirms Nigeria’s unwillingness to adhere to its treaty obligations. Citing Section 2 (3)(f) of the Terrorism (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022, Powerful argues that the intentional disregard of extradition treaties and the extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu by the federal government constitute acts of terrorism. In essence, the Supreme Court justices are portrayed as a special terror squad utilized by the government to endorse national terrorism.
