The National Judicial Council (NJC) has forcefully denied reports that Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been secretly released and repatriated to Kenya, calling the claims “fabricated” and “a figment of the writer’s imagination.
This explosive rumor, allegedly linking Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, to Kanu’s release, has sent shockwaves across Nigeria. However, the NJC insists that no such court ruling exists,dismissing the report as deliberate misinformation.
Kanu, who faces seven terrorism charges, remains in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) ahead of his next court appearance on March 21. His legal battles and prolonged detention have sparked widespread controversy, with his supporters accusing the government of political persecution.
But with the NJC’s swift denial, the question remains: who is behind the false claims, and what is their agenda? Is this a desperate ploy to manipulate public opinion, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
