Kanu filed the suit through his Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor on the grounds of military invasion of his residence in 2017, his rearrest and torture in Kenya, his repatriation to Nigeria, amongst others.

However, the judge further ruled that the government should pursue a political solution in resolving Kanu’s trial.
