Court discharges Nnamdi Kanu’s supporter

After being held for two years over charges of alleged terrorism, Justice M.O Olajuwon of a Federal High Court in Abuja has discharged Darlington Unamba, an ardent supporter of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

IPOB lawyer and human rights activist, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said this in a statement on Tuesday titled, ‘Another landmark victory recorded in the new week’.

He said, “We remain dedicated to our avowed undertaking towards ensuring that every “Ezigbo Umuchineke” who is illegally detained in the various Correctional Centres across the states and custodies of the Nigerian Security Agencies respectively, secure their freedom through legal processes.

“In line with our avowed profound commitment, only yesterday, July 17, 2023, Mr. Darlington Unamba, who has been incarcerated over the past two years, was upon our application, discharged of the frivolous terrorism charge filed against him at the Federal High Court, Abuja in Charge No: FHC/ABJ/CR/476/2021.

“Upon the charge being struck out on our application, His Lordship, consequently, discharged Mr. Darlington Unamba and told him to go home. He has gone home a free man!!!”
