Nnamdi Kanu's Family Urges NBA to Defend Rule of Law Amid Controversial Trial

The family of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has called on the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to defend the rule of law and the constitution by speaking out against Kanu's trial. They argue that the trial lacks legal basis as the laws on which it is anchored have been repealed.

The family accuses the NBA of silence in the face of constitutional violations and urges them to take a stand against what they perceive as a travesty of justice. The family highlights the repeal of the 2013 Terrorism Prevention Act and the violation of the 1999 Constitution in Kanu's trial.
