Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that actions are on to appeal the reversed ruling of the Court of Appeal which granted the Nigerian government’s application to retain Kanu in detention. Ejiofor said that despite the reversed judgment by the Appellate court, the October 13 judgment by the three-man panel of judges which discharged and acquitted the IPOB leader still subsisted, saying that Kanu had given the legal team approval to appeal the reversed ruling at the Supreme Court.
Nnamdi Kanu To Approach Supreme Court To Nullify Appeal Court’s Reversed Ruling On His Detention – Lawyer, EjioforRecall that a three-man panel of judges of the Appeal Court had on 13th of this month ruled that the rendition of the IPOB leader from Kenya in June 2021 by the Nigerian government was illegal.
However, after the three judges were transferred, the Nigerian government filed an application before the appellate court, asking for the stay of execution of its earlier judgment. The appellate court in a reversed ruling granted the government’s application. Hence Kanu remained in detention. “Apart from critical legal strategies which will remain private, Onyendu did not hesitate in giving our legal team a nod to immediately proceed with an appeal at the Supreme Court against the Ruling of the Court of Appeal staying the execution of its Judgment, which expectedly, is to be heard under the Supreme Court Fast Track Rules.
