Nnamdi Kanu: The matter is not ended, and we will pursue all available legal avenues – Malami

The Federal Government hinted on Thursday that it would appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision to dismiss the terrorism charge it had brought against IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently in custody, before the Supreme Court.

Through the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, FG responded to the verdict by arguing that Kanu was just released by the appellate court and not cleared.

The government would use the best legal choices, according to Malami, SAN, who also insisted that the court has not yet decided on concerns that existed before Kanu was extradited from Kenya.

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has got word of the Court of Appeal’s ruling regarding the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, according to a statement the AGF made available to newsmen through his media assistant, Dr. Umar Gwandu.

“For the sake of clarity and in accordance with the Court’s ruling, Kanu was only dismissed and not found not guilty.

“As a result, the necessary legal alternatives available to the authorities will be used and conveyed to the public as required.

“The court of appeals’ ruling focused on a particular problem that borders on rendition.

“Let it be known to the public that the other matters that Kanu skipped bail on and that date back to rendition are still legitimate matters for judicial adjudication.
“The Federal Government will pursue resolution of the pre-rendition concerns while considering all options available to us on the verdict on rendition.”
