The Supreme Court on Thursday slated 15 December for judgement in the Nigerian government’s appeal challenging the lower court’s order for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Mr Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been in detention since June 2021 after he was forcibly repatriated from Kenya to Nigeria.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on 13 October last year, dismissed the terrorism and treasonable felony charges filed against Mr Kanu on the basis of his agitation for the secession of a Biafra Republic, comprising the five South-east states and parts of neighbouring states, from Nigeria.
