UN Stance On Kanu’s Release Binding On Nigeria – Ejimakor

UN Stance On Kanu’s Release Binding On Nigeria – Ejimakor – Mr Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has stated that the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention is a quasi-judicial body that has a subsisting legal mandate of the United Nations to consider and adjudicate human rights petitions against member nations of the UN. THE GUARDIAN reports.

Ejimakor, who spoke to The Guardian, on Monday in Umuahia, Abia State capital, suggested that the UN’s quasi-judicial body’s rulings or decisions (diplomatically called opinions), as was recently issued in favour of Kanu, are legally binding on Nigeria on a myriad of grounds.
