The Court of Appeal in Abuja has reserved its judgment on the Indigenous People of Biafra's appeal challenging its proscription as a terrorist organization by the Federal Government. A three-man panel, led by Justice Hamma Barka, on Thursday, adjourned the matter after the Federal Government and IPOB adopted their final briefs of argument.
The Federal High Court had proscribed IPOB on September 15, 2017, declaring its activities illegal, particularly in the South-east and South-South regions. The court restrained anyone from participating in IPOB's activities and directed the Attorney General of the Federation to publish the proscription order in the official gazette and two national dailies.
