The Supreme Court will on Friday render its judgment in the appeals filed by the federal government and detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
A five-member panel of the court, headed by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, had chosen the date on October 5, after lawyer to the fed govt, Tijani Gazali (SAN) and counsel to Kanu, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) made final submissions.
The fed government prays the court to set aside an earlier judgment by the Court of Appeal, which quashed the treasonable felony charge against Kanu and ordered his release on the grounds that he was unlawfully brought back to the country after he jumped bail.
Kanu, on his part, wants the Supreme Court to allow the judgment of the Court of Appeal and uphold his discharge and acquittal.
