The appeal against the dismissal of terrorism charges against the leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, by the Federal Government at the Supreme Court will be heard today.
The Nigerian government filed the appeal last week asking the Supreme Court to set aside the ruling of the Appeal Court on October 13 where all the treasonable felony charges against Kanu, were dismissed while he was discharged.
Among other prayers, the Federal Government is asking the apex court to rule that the appellate court panel ‘erred in law and occasioned a miscarriage of justice when it relied on the manner Kanu was rendition from Kenya to Nigeria after he jumped bail the trial court granted to him in 2017, to quash the entire charge against him.’
