Thursday, 8th July 2021: The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has described the views of the Solicitor General of Alberta in Canada, Kelechi Amadi, regarding the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, as an “outrageously ignoramus opinion that is eccentric and weird.”

Malami, on Wednesday in a statement by the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Office of the AGF, Umar Gwandu, insisted that there was no illegality in the arrest of Kanu, saying, “It was abundantly clear that bench warrant was lawfully and judiciously procured through judicial process by a competent court of law, whose bail condition Nnamdi Kanu breached with impunity. There was no illegality in the entire process and the question of illegality does not even arise.”

Malami wondered why Madu never spoke up when Kanu was inciting violence against Nigeria.

The AGF urged the Canadian public officer to educate himself in matters of the law, adding that Madu only left for Canada after failing to succeed in his country of birth.
