In a letter titled “Re: Miscarriages of Justice in the Case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu”, addressed to the NBA President on August 18, 2025, and received at the NBA National Secretariat on August 22, Kanu appealed to the association as a guardian of the legal profession and promoter of the rule of law.
Kanu described himself as the leader of IPOB, a lawful human rights organisation registered in over 18 countries, which advocates peacefully for a Biafra Republica fundamental right guaranteed under local and international laws.
In the letter, he alleged that the Nigerian judiciary has converted courts into arenas of impunity in his case. “What has been done to me in Abuja courts amounts to judicial lynching against constitutional order,” Kanu wrote. He urged the NBA to discuss his case at the ongoing conference.
Highlighting violations of his constitutional rights, Kanu cited Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution, Sections 169 and 293 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Kanu claimed that multiple authorities—including the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, Federal High Court, Kenyan High Court, UN Special Rapporteurs, and the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention—had confirmed that he was abducted, tortured, and renditioned from Kenya in violation of domestic and international law.
He called on the NBA to investigate his claims, condemn the misuse of civil procedures to subvert criminal law, and restore public confidence in the Bar and Bench. “Affirm that no Nigerian should ever again be detained by abduction or tried under a repealed law,” he wrote.
Kanu concluded by urging the NBA not to remain silent, warning that silence would amount to complicity in the erosion of Nigeria’s legal foundations.
