Self-determination is the right to that underpins the United Nations. Because Biafrans support Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s call for Biafran self-determination, my brother has now been subjected to the most serious violations of international law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that, \u201cWhilst visiting Kenya, Nnamdi Kanu was detained and handed over to the Nigerian authorities who then flew him to Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother has been subject to extraordinary rendition by Kenya and Nigeria. They have violated the most basic principles of the rule of law. Extraordinary rendition is one of the most serious crimes states can commit. Both Nigeria and Kenya must be held to account. I demand justice for my brother, Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNnamdi Kanu holds both British and Nigerian citizenship. Nnamdi Kanu is Biafran, not Nigerian. He has rejected his Nigerian citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe British High Commission in Nigeria must insist upon my brother\u2019s immediate release. They must guarantee his safety and security. Nnamdi Kanu must be returned home to the UK to his wife and his sons who live here. The Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, must make clear to the Nigerian authorities that they will not tolerate the unlawful detention of British citizens and that the UK Government condemns the Nigerians and Kenyans for undermining the rule of law. Foreign Secretary Raab must be clear. There will be consequences for those who resort to extraordinary rendition.
