Nnamdi Kanu: AGF Malami Rated Nigeria’s Most Corrupt Legal Officer – IPOB

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has slammed the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, for “filing dead charges” against its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Naija News recalls that the Appeal Court in Abuja had discharged and acquitted the embattled Nnamdi Kanu of all terrorism charges against him.

Despite the court order, the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration refused to release the IPOB leader, filing an appeal at the Supreme Court against the order.

The Federal Government had also filed an amended seven-count charge against Kanu at a Federal High Court.

Reacting in a statement, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, accused AGF Malami of trying to destroy the criminal justice system and judiciary in Nigeria.

While describing him as Nigeria’s most corrupt law officer, Powerful said the Minister of Justice is making a mockery of the judicial system.

According to the pro-Biafra activist, filing amended charges after the judgment of an Appeal Court was an affront to the court’s ruling.

A statement reads partly: “We, the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, condemn the rumored new amended charge filed by Malami and his cohorts against our indefatigable Kanu, even after the Court of Appeal has discharged and acquitted him of all criminal allegations.

“This is a clear indication that Malami is really a quota system SAN who have no business or knowledge near the legal profession.

“Our Simple understanding and knowledge are that the judgment of the court is a problem to Malami and APC Government, no wonder, under Malami reign as the Chief law officer of the Federation, he has been rated among the most corrupt legal officer and his Ministry is presently entangled in plethora of corruption allegations that bothers on embezzlement of public fund.

“If Malami the Attorney General likes let him go to his native Kebbi state and file fresh charges in a sharia court against our indefatigable leader KANU, he is not only wasting his time, he is making a mockery of purported legal training and the Judiciary of Nigeria.

“The era of filing frivolous charges against KANU is gone and gone forever.”
