The suit is sui generis (one of a kind) and its primary purpose is to redress Nnamdi Kanu’s infamous unlawful expulsion or extraordinary rendition, which is alleged to be a violation of his fundamental rights under Article 12(4) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and Chapter IV of the Nigerian Constitution.

In addition to the rendition, Aloy Ejimakor, the special counsel for Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB, is asking the court to rectify the numerous violations that accompanied the rendition, such as the torture, the unlawful detention, and the denial of the right to a fair hearing, which is required by law before anyone can be expelled from one country to another.
“I am also seeking to halt his prosecution and restore him to the status quo before his rendition on 19th June, 2021”, Ejimakor said.
In March of this year, the court received Kanu’s claim for extraordinary rendition.
