The Supreme Court will Monday, October 24, hear the appeal filed by the Federal Government on the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The government is asking the apex court to set aside the judgment delivered by the Appeal Court that freed Nnamdi Kanu.
Daily Report recalls that the Appellate Court had in a unanimous judgement by the three-man panel of justices, dismissed the charges against Kanu for flagrantly violating all known laws in the way it forcefully renditioned Kanu from Kenya to the country for the continuation of his trial.

The appeal court held:
“The court will never shy away from calling the Executive to order when it edges towards Executive recklessness.”
However, the Federal Government has gone to the nation’s apex court asking it to stay the execution of the judgement the appellate court delivered on October 13.
The government argues that the appeal court panel failed in law and occasioned a miscarriage of justice due to the manner Kanu was renditioned from Kenya to Nigeria after he jumped bail the trial court granted to him in 2017, to quash the entire charge against him.
