Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has said the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, has no legal merits.<\/p>\n

Amadi made the remark while calling for an end to his incarceration.<\/p>\n

Tweeting, the public affairs analyst also prescribed a political solution to the lingering problem.<\/p>\n

According to Amadi: \u201cNnamdi Kanu\u2019s trial has no more legal merits. The judge even acknowledges this. I won\u2019t say more on this. A political problem requires a political solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnd the criminal justice charade and begin real solutions. Let\u2019s solve, not complicate, our problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kanu has been incarcerated since 2021, when he was picked up in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition.<\/p>\n

He was repatriated back to Nigeria to continue his trial before an Abuja Federal High Court for charges bordering on terrorism.<\/p>\n

Kanu is locked up by the Department of State Services, DSS, while his trial continues.<\/p>\n

Despite courts ordering his release, he remains detained.<\/p>\n
