Abuja lawyer Onyedikachi Ifedi condemns the Supreme Court's December 15, 2023, ruling that permits Nnamdi Kanu's terrorism trial to continue. The legal practitioner argues the judgment represents judicial tyranny and violates constitutional principles. Ifedi claims the court wrongly approved the government's alleged kidnapping of the Biafra agitator from Kenya without proper extradition procedures.

The attorney describes the verdict as legally worthless because it ignores binding precedents and international law. He warns that the decision creates a dangerous precedent, allowing the state to kidnap critics abroad. Ifedi urges the Nigerian Bar Association, senior advocates, and civil rights organizations to challenge the ruling.

The lawyer references previous Supreme Court cases that declared procedural violations render proceedings null and void. He argues fundamental rights violations cannot be remedied through compensation or fair trial procedures. The statement emphasizes constitutional protections and African Charter provisions that guarantee due process rights for all citizens.
