Three rulings have been admitted into evidence by the Federal High Court’s Abuja division, including one from Justice Benson Anya of the Abia State High Court, which mandated that the Nigerian government reimburse Indigenous People of Biafran (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu N1 billion for the Nigerian Army’s illegal 2017 invasion of his home.

In his ruling in Kanu’s fundamental rights lawsuit, Justice Anya ruled that the Nigerian government’s September 2017 military invasion of his home in Abia State violated his right to liberty, dignity, unlawful, unconstitutional and amounted to infringement of his fundamental rights to life, and a fair trial, all of which are protected by the 1999 Nigerian Constitution and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights.

Certified authentic copies of the judgments in suit FHC/UM/CS/30/2022, delivered on October 26, 2022, between Nnamdi Kanu and FRN, and E/20/2023, delivered on October 26, 2023, between Kanu and FRN, were also accepted into evidence.

The three judgments that were tendered through the bar and designated as exhibits PWL, PWM, and PWN, respectively, were admitted by Justice James Omotosho.

During the cross-examination of the prosecution witness, Mr. BBB, the defendant team submitted the three judgments.

Paul Erokoro (SAN) performed the cross-examination.
