The Supreme Court adjourned the hearing of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, till next month.
Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, disclosed the decision of the Supreme Court in a tweet.
Ejimakor remarked on Twitter, “Sadly, the Supreme Court has adjourned the #MNK appeal hearing to next month, May 11, 2023.”
On November 3, 2022, the secessionist filed an appeal with the Supreme Court against the Court of Appeal’s order preventing his release from DSS custody.
Kalu filed an appeal against the Court of Appeal’s judgment on October 28, 2022, which suspended the implementation of its previous judgement acquitting him of all charges and directing his release from the secret police’s custody.
Prior to the hearing, Kanu’s Special Counsel asked the Supreme Court to guarantee justice in the IPOB leader’s trial, stressing that his case should be concluded today.
Many prominent Igbo leaders, as well as the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, have been calling for Kanu’s release before President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure ends in one month, on May 29, 2023.
