IPoB: A’Court delivers judgment on Nnamdi Kanu’s suit, today

BARRING any eleventh-hour hitch, Nigeria’s Court of Appeal will deliver its judgement on the appeal challenging the charges against leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPoB), Nnamdi Kanu, today.

A counsel among Kanu’s legal team, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, disclosed this in a post on his Twitter feed, yesterday evening.

  “We just received NOTIFICATION from the Court of Appeal Abuja Judicial Division, that the long awaited Judgment in Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Appeal No: CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022 BETWEEN: MAZI NNAMDI KANU VS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, will be delivered tomorrow being the 13th Day of October, 2022, at 2pm. Chukwu Okike Abiama is on the throne and shall forever be on the throne. The hour has come! Thank you all UMUCHINEKE. Victory is ours and it shall surely end in praises,” Ejiofor tweeted.

  It will be recalled that Kanu was re-arraigned on an amended 15-count charge bordering on treasonable felony preferred against him by the federal government. But on April 8, Justice Murtalla Nyako struck out eight of the 15-count charge following which Kanu’s lawyers filed an appeal marked CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022, praying the court to quash the remaining seven counts for being devoid of merit.
