Giving reasons for the Order, Lewis said, “This appeal concerns Nnamdi Kanu, the brother of the appellant. Mr Kanu is a British national. He has been detained in Nigeria since about June 2021 and is, it seems, presently held in solitary confinement. It is said that he was the subject of an extraordinary rendition being taken from Kenya to Nigeria. This appeal concerns the request for consular assistance.
“The grounds of appeal raise important issues concerning the scope of the obligations on the respondent in relation to requests for consular assistance in respect of British nationals detained abroad and the proper interpretation and application of the decision of the Court of Appeal in R v Secretary of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office [2003] UKHRR 76. For those reasons, there is a compelling reason for the appeal to be heard, within the meaning of CPR 52.6.
