The Nigerian government has approached the Supreme Court to overturn a Court of Appeal ruling that freed separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu and dropped terrorism charges against him.

Last week the appeal court ordered that Kanu be discharged, saying the government did not follow due process in his extradition to Nigeria from Kenya, and that the federal court did not have jurisdiction to try the case. read moreOn Friday, government lawyers said the state had appealed to the Supreme Court, saying the appeal court did not consider the fact that Kanu jumped bail in 2017 and did not appear in court until he was re-arrested.

Kanu has yet to be released from custody, despite last week’s decision, said one of his lawyers, who added that he had visited him on Thursday. Kanu leads the Indigenous People of Biafra , which campaigns for the secession of a part of southeastern Nigeria where the majority belong to the Igbo ethnic group. Nigerian authorities have labelled IPOB a terrorist organisation.

British nigeria colonial invaders defiled international law and invaded indigenous black African bantu negro territory illegally, occupied there space, made fictious law, while itself and there handlers doesn't obey law.

That English language of Secessionist, should be espurged, restoration of biafra indigenous identity, how is it Secessionist or separation? Who were d zulus, Xhosa, tswana, sothos before d settlers created rsa?

Nigeria a colonial imposed establishment impunity defiled there own judiciery, then who do they expect to abide to the law? Is d law now made only to subjugate and imprison indigenous black bantu native negros?

Biafra Activist were shot and injured at union building, picketing against jubri the imposter in 2019 3rd October, till date sabc have never reported that incident, is silence not an accomplice?

What a hypocrisy, and double standards, rsa and Nigeria supports d self determination of western sahara Arab Republic bt when it comes to indigenous black Africans they are called Secessionist, indigenous people must b free frm colonial imposed countries identities

Freedom for mazi Nnamdi kanu Freedom for indigenous people of biafra Calling them sessionist doesn't make any difference as few yrs ago Nelson Mandela was called a terrorist by d British and there fellow matrix colonist

Why is d colonial imposed imperialist countries jittery whenever d indigenous black Africans demands there freedom frm d colonial entrapment termed Nigeria? All sort adjectives are employed to intimidate them into submission, nigeria occupies d space of indigenous black people,

Am yet to read any article written by South African Broadcasting Corporation,concerning the kidnapping and extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria,by the Nigeria government in cohort with Kenyan government. I pay no respect to any media that's baised.

You better study about Biafra and make a proper publication. Soon Biafra will be a sovereign state again and you will regret ever taking side with Nigerian Government. Nigeria is a lawless country. They can't even obey their own court orders. EFFSouthAfrica speak up

, Mind you Biafra existed before Nigeria. Go check your history so that you can bring out the truth about Nigeria. 1914 Amalgamation experiment expired in 2014 (100yrs). It's time for Biafra to go. If you don't report properly we will visit your office

Attention Editor

Nigeria is a failed state divide Nigeria now and save lifes

A goverment that doesn't obey it's own court orders is tyrannic,and should not be encouraged nor attract the attention of a supposed credible media house like South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) It's shameful if a reputable media house as sabc should be involved.

It will only be noble of to dig deeper into how Nnamdi Kanu was discharged and aquited by the same Nigeria court of appeal,on the same febble charges to which UN has previously ordered the Nigeria government to release.

SABC should tell Nigeria government to obey their court order before displaying their foolishness to the world

A Government that do not obey her own court is a terror government. BiafraExit FreeMaziNnamdiKanu

Nigeria government led by Buhari are the real terrorists terrorizing the people of Biafra, Self-determination is our Right. BiafraExit IPOB FreeMaziNnamdiKanu FreeBiafra

The real terrorist are Nigeria government who went to far away Kenya and kidnapped him , which is against international law, why have south Africa not kidnapped Bushiri?

A wonder how south Africa is associating themselves to a country that can't obey their own court, Nigeria is building castle on her. This man has defeated them severally in their own court but they insist in holding him against court orders, so sad 😭
