An Abia State High Court sitting in Umuahia has ordered the Federal Government and the Nigeria Army to pay the sum of N1 billion to the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, for invading his house in September 2017.
The Court also ordered the federal government and the Army to apologize to Mr. Kanu for the violation of his Fundamental Rights.
Also, the Abia Court recommended political solution to the agitation for the restoration of the defunct Biafra Republic championed by IPOB.
According to Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, the Court presided over by Justice Benson Anya gave the order on Wednesday while delivering judgement on the suit filed by Kanu against the federal government, the Army and others.
Mr. Ejimakor, who made this known in a tweet, said, “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu WINS as Abia High Court rules that the Federal Government violated his fundamental rights. Orders the Federal government to pay N1b to him and issue a letter of apology to him.
“Most importantly, the Court recommended political solution to the #Biafran agitation.”
