The Justices of the Court of Appeal in this judgment delivered in Appeal No: CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022; BETWEEN: MAZI NNAMDI KANU VS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, unanimously allowed the appeal and consequently struck out the seven-count charge retained by the trial court.The Federal Government approached the same Court of Appeal with an application to stay the execution of its judgment, all in a bid to continue the detention of Kanu.
On October 28, the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja proceeded to grant the order for stay of execution and consequently stayed the execution of the judgment of the same court delivered on October 13. Kanu’s legal team filed an appeal before the Supreme Court wherein they are seeking the intervention of the apex court to set aside the order staying the execution of the IPOB leader’s judgment. They also cross-appealed to the Supreme Court to determine issues pertaining to the judgment of the Court of Appeal.On the strength of the foregoing, Kanu’s legal team filed an application to dismiss the FG’s appeal.
