Self willpower which is the actual challenge that received twisted to all of the sudden turn into a excessive crime is an inalienable proper assured beneath the legal guidelines of Nigeria, the United Nations, the UK and Kenya.

In fact, it’s Nigeria’s govt department which terribly renditioned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that ought to present contrition for resorting to extraordinary rendition which is a State crime beneath worldwide regulation and and the frequent regulation. If any begging should be accomplished, it must be directed to the Courts to conduct his circumstances and that of IPOB with the utmost impartiality and adherence to rule of regulation, fairness and good conscience.
