The National Judicial Council (NJC) has denied reports that Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Kudirat Kekere-Ekun ordered the release and repatriation of detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to Kenya.
In a statement, the NJC dismissed the report as fabricated, emphasizing that the CJN is not involved in Kanu’s case.
“The Council wishes to state that the media report is false and figment of imagination of the writer, as there are no Court proceedings, decision or judgment where such statements ascribed to His Lordship was made.
“The Council categorically emphasizes that the Hon CJN neither preside over any Case of Kanu at the Apex Court, where jurisdiction issue was argued nor makes any such pronouncement.
“His Lordship, the Hon CJN never wrote any formal letter to the Kenya Government or Kenya High Commission apologising on the issue of arrest of Nnamdi Kanu and trial.
“The Council urges members of the public to disregard the fake story,” the statement, which was signed by the NJC’s Deputy Director of Information, Kemi Ogedengbe, read.
