April 27, (THEWILL) – The Supreme Court on Thursday, adjourned until May 11, 2023, the hearing on an Appeal filed by the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu, who is being tried on terrorism-related charges by the Federal Government of Nigeria, had on November 3, 2022, approached the apex court, to challenge the decision of the appellate court, which on 28 October 2022 stayed the execution of its earlier order acquitting him of all charges and directing his release from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
While the Supreme Court had earlier slated a hearing on the appeal for Thursday, 27th April, Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel for IPOB and Kanu, in a tweet, said the apex court has adjourned its hearing
“Sadly, the Supreme Court has adjourned the #MNK appeal hearing to next month”, the tweet read.
Prior to the hearing, Kanu’s Special Counsel had urged the Supreme Court to ensure justice in the trial of the IPOB leader, stressing that his matter should end today.
