| Nnamdi Kanu: Nigeria suspends funds contribution to ECOWAS |
The Nigerian government is out to arm-twist the Economic Community for West African States (ECOWAS), in order to obstruct justice in their pending case at the ECOWAS Court with Nnamdi Kanu. Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, had dragged Nigeria to the ECOWAS court over his illegal detention, violation of his rights and torture by agents of the Nigerian government. Kanu asserts that Nigeria has thoroughly breached the ECOWAS treaty. Frantic efforts made by the Nigerian government stop proceedings at the court had so far failed. Hence, the decision of Nigeria to withhold its financial contributions to the sub-regional body.
