The Minister of Justice and Solicitor-General of the Government of Alberta, in Canada, Kelechi Madu, has condemned Nigeria’s Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, over the moves that led to the re-arrest of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday.
Madu, in a post on his LinkedIn page, said that if the reports that Kanu was abducted from Kenya are true, then AGF Malami is not only a disgrace to the rule of law, but is also not worthy to be a Public Officer.
The Canadian Official, who is also the Deputy Government House Leader, said that Nigeria and Kenya violated International Law in the manner Kanu was extradited back to Nigeria, and called on World Leaders to apply the appropriate sanctions.
Speaking further, Madu demanded the release of Kanu, urging the Nigerian Federal Government to ensure his safety.
He wrote: “The Attorney-General of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, is a disgrace to the rule of law, and not worthy to be an Officer of the court. He has shown himself to be a bigot, who does not understand what it means to live in a pluralistic society governed by the dictates of the rule of law.”
He also called on the International Community and World Leaders to use all their power to ensure “real consequences for these arbitrary violations of internationally accepted democratic norms and rules that govern civilized people”.
“Nigeria is burning, and the people of Nigeria, except those who are holding the country down, wants out. You cannot destroy the hope and aspiration of a people destined for greatness and expect them to bow down in servitude. You cannot destroy a generation of people and expect them to not fight for their freedom. The power of guns, state-sponsored terrorism, will not achieve peace or the preservation of Nigeria.
“The Igbos and other ethnic groups in Nigeria who are calling for Nigeria to be renegotiated, do not seek violence or war. They seek peace. They seek progress and the advancement of their people. They seek fairness, safety, equity, and justice for their people. They seek the opportunity for their children to grow up and achieve their God-given abundant potential. They seek the rise of a people with the work ethic, intellect and capacity to be a truly global superpower on the continent of Africa. They seek dignity over inhumane treatment. They seek life over death.
“Friends of the black world must unite and liberate the people of Nigeria from this bondage and from the claws of corrupt and inept politicians who have no business being near the corridor of Nigeria’s political power.”
