The court further held that having illegally and forcefully renditioned the appellant, the trial court is stripped of jurisdiction to continue to try Kanu.Dissatisfied by the judgment, the federal government through the office of the attorney-general of the federation , filed an appeal against the judgment.
Responding, Mike Ozekhome, kanu’s lawyer, criticized the request for a stay, claiming that, in contrast to the government’s lawyer’s submissions, if the order for Kanu’s release is not followed, there would be anarchy and chaos in the south east.“This court has made a pronouncement. In fact, the purpose of this application is to overrule the judgment of this court as they boasted. Even if a judgment is wrong, no party has a right to say I will not obey it,” Ozekhome argued.
