As the Federal High Court, Abuja, delivers its ruling on the “No case submission” on the trial of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra  (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, the pro-Biafra group has demanded fair hearing and judgement according to the rule of law.

It also called on the International communities to beam their eyes on the day of judgment.

A statement by IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, read:  “We are at a decisive moment in the persecution of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The world has seen how the Nigerian government keeps breaking its own laws just to detain an innocent man. This must stop.

“On the 10th of October 2025, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, will deliver a ruling on a “No Case Submission.” For the sake of whatever is left of Nigeria’s judicial integrity, this ruling must be based strictly on the law, not political pressure.

“We call on Biafrans, lovers of freedom, the international community, and all Nigerians to be vigilant. The shameful dramas we saw from Justices Tsammani and Lawal must never repeat themselves. Judges are meant to uphold justice, not act as messengers for the executive.

“However, IPOB has stated facts it believed must be followed by the Justice Omotosho led judges to ensure fair hearing.
