UK Court Of Appeal To Hear Nnamdi Kanu’s Case June 22 As Lawyer Condemns Britain’s Inability To Protect Citizens Maltreated Abroad | Sahara Reporters

f Bindmans LLP, in a press release on Wednesday kicked against why there is no “clear and principled policy around protecting British citizens mistreated abroad.”The United Kingdom Court of Appeal will hear Nnamdi Kanu’s family’s appeal on June 22, 2023, as the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra spends over two years in the detention of the Nigerian government’s secret police, the Department of State Services.

“Most of these residents will be British citizens with passports declaring to authorities of other states that the Queen, and so now the new King, ‘requests and requires… all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.

“Perhaps surprisingly for many, the question for the court is not ‘what should the UK government do to help him?’. Instead, it is ‘should the UK government make its mind up about what has happened to him and then decide what to do?’ because for over two years the government has said it cannot, and will not, make those critical decisions.

“Mr Kanu’s family have brought a legal challenge against the FCDO on the basis that reaching a firm, concluded view is necessary to lawfully determine what steps should be taken to assist Mr Kanu. An earlier Court of Appeal case, Abassi, held that lawful decision-making on assisting British citizens detained abroad depended on reaching such a conclusion.

“However, despite clearly recognising the gravity of the wrongs committed against Mr Kanu, the court disappointingly held that Mr Kanu has no legitimate expectation that the British government should reach a firm view for itself on what had occurred or its seriousness.
