The Supreme Court will today hear the appeal from Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), according to Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to the separatists’ leader.
Ejimakor stated this in a tweet, adding that the supreme court in the Kanu case should be guided by equity, justice, and good conscience.
“As the Supreme Court convenes to hear Onyendu #MNK’s appeal today, let equity, justice & good conscience guide the hand of the Court to undo the grave injustice that was done to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu almost two years ago. Injustice has an expiry date. Let today be that expiry date,” Ejimakor wrote.
Kanu has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since June 2021, but the appellate court on October 13, 2022, dismissed the six-count charge levelled against him by the federal government.
This compelled the self-determination group leader to approach the Supreme Court.
