Appeal Court To Deliver Judgment On Nnamdi Kanu’s Appeal On Thursday

The Court of Appeal has fixed October 13 (Thursday) for judgment in an appeal filed by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) challenging the criminal charges against him.

Kanu was re-arraigned before a Federal High Court on amended 15 counts bordering on treasonable felony preferred against him by the Nigerian government.

But on April 8, Justice Binta Nyako struck out eight of the 15 counts.

However, Kanu through his team of lawyers led by Mike Ozekhome (SAN), filed an appeal marked CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022, praying the court to quash the remaining seven counts for being devoid of merit.

The appeal is equally praying the court to order his release on bail, pending the determination of his appeal.

Confirming the development, Ejiofor said that the long-awaited Judgment in Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Appeal No: CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022 between Mazi Nnamdi Kanu vs. Federal Republic of Nigeria will be delivered on the said date.

“We wish to inform Umuchineke and all followers of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that we just received Notification from the Court of Appeal Abuja Judicial Division, that the long awaited Judgment in Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Appeal No: CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022 Between: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu vs. Federal Republic Of Nigeria, will be delivered tomorrow, the 13th Day of October, 2022, at 2:00 pm.
