The Supreme Court on Thursday fixed December 15 to deliver judgment in the appeals filed by the Federal Government and the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The date was fixed after counsel to the Federal Government, Tijani Gazali (SAN) and the IPOB leader, Prof. Mike Ozekhome (SAN) adopted their processes filed in the matter.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that Kanu had been in detention since June 2021, after he was arrested by Interpol in Kenya and immediately handed over to Nigerian authorities.
Gazali while adopting the processes on behalf of the Federal Government, urged the court to set aside an earlier judgment by the Court of Appeal, which quashed the treasonable felony charge against Kanu and ordered his release on the grounds that he was unlawfully renditioned back to the country after he jumped bail.
Gazali also prayed the court to affirm the judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja which held that, Kanu should stand trial on the charges struck out by the Court of Appeal.
The IPOB leader counsel, Ozekhome, while adopting the processes filed against the appeal wants the court to allow the judgment of the Court of Appeal and set aside the later order for the stay of the execution of the judgment.
He also prayed the court to uphold the cross-appeal filed to do justice in the matter.
After the final submission by counsel in the matter, the court reserved December 15 for judgment.
