Mr Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to the detained leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has said that the Kenyan
Government had filed a document in court to show that there was no immigration
record of Kanu’s departure from Kenya after his arrival to the country on May
12, 2021.
A release jointly issued by Ejimakor; and the IPOB Leader’s
brother, Kanunta Kanu, argued that the position of the Kenyan Government had
made the circumstances under which Kanu “disappeared” from Kenya a more
grievous offence, claiming that serious consequences await all those involved
in the action.
In the latest Affidavit filed by the Kenyan government in
defence of the suit filed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya, it asserted that there
was no immigration record of Kanu’s departure from Kenya after his last arrival
on 12th May 2021.
The release made available read in part: “In the Affidavit “drawn up and filed” by the Attorney-General of Kenya and deposed to in Nairobi, Kenya on 10th February 2022, the Government of Kenya attached Kanu’s arrival and departure record from Kenya from 17th July 2019 to 12th May 2022 when he last entered Kenya.
“Paragraph 12 of the Affidavit stated, “That it is evident
from the schedule below that since 17/7/2019, the said Nwannekaenyi Nnamdi
Kenny Okwu-Kanu has visited and departed Kenya on several occasions”.
“Paragraph 13 of the Affidavit states “That from the above
travel history, it is evident that his last arrival date was 12/5/2021 and
there is no evidence exhibited to prove that he thereafter left the country”.
“Paragraph 14 of the Affidavit stated, “That I am not privy
to his (Kanu’s) arrest, detention or extradition”.
Kanu’s lawyers argued that: “It is pertinent to note that
this Affidavit, having been “drawn up and filed” by the Attorney-General of
Kenya is the clearest official confirmation yet from the government of Kenya
that what happened to Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya amounts to a crime, both in Nigeria,
Kenya and under international law.
“With this latest development, Kanu’s ordeal in Kenya has
turned a new corner where domestic and international criminal indictments will
lie against the persons that directly or indirectly participated in this high
crime. It has gone beyond extraordinary rendition.”
