UK Appeal Court To Determine If Foreign Secretary Owes British Citizen, Nnamdi Kanu Decisive Position On His ‘Extraordinary Rendition’The Court of Appeal in the United Kingdom will Thursday hear an appeal brought on behalf of Nnamdi Kanu, in relation to the Foreign Secretary's ongoing refusal to reach a decisive view on whether he has been subject to extraordinary rendition.

Mr Kanu, a British citizen, has requested consular assistance from the British government, but in the past 16 months, British High Commission officials have been permitted to visit him on only four occasions, the statement said. It quoted Mr Kanu's brother, Kingsley, as saying on Thursday:"I'm very pleased that the court has agreed to this appeal. My brother has been in detention for nearly two years, his health, as well as his life, is at risk.

Swift also noted that the Nigerian authorities captured him in 2021 whilst he was in Kenya and subjected him to inhuman and degrading treatment, and crucially, that he was subject to 'rendition'.
