The government of Nigeria, which is led by President Muhammadu Buhari, has filed seven amended accusations against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja. These charges have a close relationship with terrorism.

In the continuing lawsuit between the IPOB leader and the government, the court has scheduled Monday as the day when both Kanu's attorneys and the prosecution team for the Federal Government will have the opportunity to address the court. The seven counts that were revised against the leader of IPOB who is currently being held in custody were borderline terrorist acts.

The amended charge, which was entered before the Federal High Court in Abuja and was given the number FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, comprised all of the earlier claims against the IPOB leader that had been proven to be true. Kanu was exonerated of all 15 counts of terrorism accusations that had been levelled against him by the federal government on October 13, according to reports coming from the Appeal Court Abuja Division.

In a decision that was reached by a vote of unanimous approval, the court of appeals found fault with the procedure that was used to bring Kanu before the Federal High Court to answer to 15 counts of terrorism charges.

The decision of the three-person panel was read by Justice Adedotun Adefope-Okijie, who made the observation that the federal government had not demonstrated anywhere that it had complied with the procedures for the extradition of the IPOB.

The court came to the conclusion in a judgement that was reached unanimously that such extraordinary rendition, which did not adhere to due process of the law, was a gross violation of all international conventions, treaties, protocols, and guidelines that Nigeria is a signatory to, as well as a breach of the Appellant's fundamental human rights. This conclusion was reached after the court found that there was no adherence to due process of the law during the extraordinary rendition.

The appellate court also decided that the government did not provide sufficient evidence to rebut the allegation that the leader of IPOB was in Kenya, that he was kidnapped while there, and that he was brought back to the United States without going through any extradition procedures.

Because of this reason, the appellate court came to the conclusion that the government had been "ominously silent on the issue," which it described as being very pivotal in determining whether or not the lower court would still have the jurisdiction to proceed with the criminal proceeding that was before it.

The judges on the appellate court came to the conclusion that the conduct taken by the Nigerian government constituted "an abuse of criminal prosecution in general" and rendered the entire proceeding that the government had launched against Kanu invalid.

The three-person bench reached the following conclusion as a result: "The court will never shy away from calling the Executive to order when it tilts towards Executive irresponsibility."

It stated that the government was "grossly abusing its power" in this country.

In the meantime, the federal government has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court against the decision of the appellate court.

As a consequence of the amended charges, the question of whether or not the government of Gabon could proceed to re-arraign the leader of the IPOB on the amended charges despite the judgement handed down on October 13 will be debated.

However, in the new amended charges, the federal government alleged that Kanu had issued a lethal threat via a broadcast that was heard and received across the country. According to this allegation, Kanu had stated that anyone who disobeyed his order to sit at home in the south-eastern states should write their wills.

In addition, it was asserted that as a direct result of the broadcast, many businesses in the eastern states of the country, including banks, schools, markets, shopping malls, and gas stations, had been forced to close their doors, which had a negative impact on the citizens of those states and caused a standstill in the movement of vehicles.

The Federal Government further alleged that the IPOB leader had committed an offence punishable under Section 1 (2) (h) of the Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act, 2013 by making inciting broadcasts between the years 2018 and 2021, which were received and heard in Nigeria. These broadcasts incited the public to hunt and kill Nigerian security personnel and their family members, and the Federal Government stated that this was a violation of the law.

Furthermore, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FG) alleged that Kanu had, between the months of March and April 2015, imported into Nigeria and kept in Ubulisiuzor in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, a radio transmitter known as Tram 50L, concealed in a container of used household items, thereby committing an offence contrary to section 47 (2) (a) of the Criminal Code Act Cap, C45 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, adding that he also directed members
