October 21, 2022SaharaReporters had earlier reported that the President Muhammadu Buhari led-Federal Government had on Wednesday, filed an appeal against the October 13 unanimous judgment of the Court of Appeal freeing the IPOB's leader.
In a seven-ground notice of appeal which was filed by the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation , Abubakar Malami, SAN, the Federal Government not only faulted the lower court’s decision, but equally prayed that it be set aside. Dismissing the appeal as incompetent, he said that the government decided not to obey a valid order of the Court of Appeal by releasing his client.
“The FGN has been in contempt of the positive Orders of Court made since the 13th day of October 2022, by the Court of Appeal, which Orders clearly discharged Onyendu, and prohibited the FGN from further detaining him and/or subjecting him to any further prosecution or trial." “The only valid option available to the government is to obey the Order made by a very Superior Court of Record, and immediately free Onyendu unconditionally,” he added.
