Supreme Court has fixed December 15, 2023 to deliver judgment in the appeal filed by the federal government against the Court of Appeal judgment that sets aside the criminal charges against Nnamdi Kanu and ordered his release.

Gazali specifically, pleaded that the judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which upheld seven count charges against Kanu be affirmed so that Kanu can be brought for trial in the charges. Ozekhome maintained that Kanu's continued detention by the federal government was unlawful in the face of the subsisting Court of Appeal judgment which had ordered that Kanu be immediately released.

Mauritius Supreme Court Decriminalises Same-Sex Relationsitemprop=description content=A colonial-era legislation that made same-sex relationships illegal has been declared unlawful in Mauritius, according to a Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) report. The 1898-era Section 250 of the Mauritian Criminal Code was declared unlawful by the nation's Supreme Court. The statute had imposed a five-year prison sentence on anybody found guilty of having same-sex relationships. The decision to repeal the anti-homosexuality statute was made in response to a legal challenge filed by four young Mauritanians in October 2019 who said the ban 'violated their fundamental rights and freedom'. The verdict received praise from the UN and other human rights organizations, Jerry Chifamba writes for allAfrica.
