The Supreme Court will today, Monday, hear the appeal filed by the Federal Government asking that it should set aside the Appeal Court judgement that freed Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The government is asking the Appellate Court to stay the execution of the judgement of October 13 which voided the rendition of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria on account of breach of local and international laws.
A notice of appeal marked CA/ABJ/CR/625/2025 and sighted by DAILY POST indicated that a 3-panel of the Court would determine the Federal Government’s motion on notice.
It will be recalled that a panel of Justices of the Court led by Jumai Hanatu Sankey had in a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Adefope-Okojie voided the rendition of Kanu to Nigeria on grounds that due process of law was not followed.
The appellate court thereafter set aside the terrorism charges against Kanu and also discharged him from the charges
