By insisting that Kanu must face trial, the Supreme Court went contrary to the judgement of the federal high court and that of federal court of appeal that had freed and acquitted Kanu on the treasonable charges preferred against him by the federal government.
Leading the list of those who condemned the supreme court verdict on Kanu is the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB). In a release made available to Business Hallmark, MASSOB’s leader, Comrade Uche Madu, expressed shock and disappointment on the ruling of the apex court.
