AVID Petitions Trump for Sanctions on Nigerian Judges Over Nnamdi Kanu's Detention

American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID) has petitioned President Trump to impose sanctions on Nigerian judges, including former Attorney General Malami, over the detention of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. The group accuses the judges of human rights violations and complicity in Kanu's persecution.

They highlight the lack of fair trial rights and suppression of freedom. The petition specifically names several judges and officials allegedly involved in Kanu's detention since his rendition from Kenya in June 2021.

AVID emphasizes the need for justice and freedom for Kanu, criticizing the judiciary's actions. The judges and Malami have not commented on the petition.

AVID aims to raise awareness and pressure for Kanu's release.
