The supreme court has fixed December 15 to deliver judgment on appeals regarding the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra .
A five-member panel of the apex court led by Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, fixed the date for judgment after counsels for the federal government and Kanu adopted their final arguments. The IPOB leader has been in the custody of the Department of State Services since he was extradited from Kenya on June 19, 2021.On April 8, 2022, Binta Nyako, a federal high court judge in Abuja, struck out eight of the 15 counts in the charge.
The remaining seven counts were later quashed by the court of appeal on October 13, 2022. Nyako then ordered Kanu’s release. However, on October 28, 2022, the court of appeal granted a stay of execution on its verdict discharging Kanu, after the federal government filed an appeal at the supreme court.Click on the link below to join TheCable Channel on WhatsApp for your Breaking News, Business Analysis, Politics, Fact Check, Sports and Entertainment News!
