The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday proscribed the Indigenous People of Biafra, led by Nnamdi Kanu.
The proscription, by Justice Abdul Kafarati, followed an application by the Federal Government through the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
The order by Kafarati, which was earlier published as a Breaking News, reads in full: “That the application is granted as prayed.
“That an order declaring that the activities of the respondent (Indigenous People of Biafra) in any part of Nigeria, especially in the South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria, amount to acts of terrorism and illegality is granted.
“That an order proscribing the existence of the respondent (Indigenous People of Biafra), in any part of Nigeria, especially in the South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria, either in groups or as individuals by whatever names they are called and publishing same in the official gazette and two national dailies, is granted.
“That an order restraining any person or group of persons from participating in any manner whatsoever in any form of activities involving or concerning the prosecution of the collective intention or otherwise of the respondent (Indigenous People of Biafra) under any other name or platform however called or described is granted.”
Attached is the application by the Federal Government.
