Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have been moved from their various divisions.

This was disclosed in a memo dated October 17, which was signed by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem.
The memo emphasized that the new posting for the justices was with immediate effect and that they were expected to report to their new stations by October 21.
