The Supreme Court has set December 15 as the date for delivering judgment in the appeal filed by the Federal Government against the Court of Appeal’s decision to quash criminal charges against Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The Federal Government is seeking to affirm the judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which upheld seven count charges against Kanu.
Kanu’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, argued that the government has been unlawfully detaining Kanu since 2021 and pleaded for the Court of Appeal’s decision to be upheld, which dismissed the remaining seven-count charges against Kanu.
The case has been ongoing since the Federal High Court initially retained seven counts out of the original 15 counts against Kanu.
