BREAKING: Appeal Court Suspends Judgement Ordering FG To Release Nnamdi Kanu

On Friday, the Appeal Court put a hold on its decision ordering President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to free imprisoned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

According to Naija News, the appellate court previously ordered the Federal Government to release the Biafra agitator.

The Buhari government requested a stay of execution of the judgment pending the hearing and decision of its appeal, which it filed with the Supreme Court. The court, in a unanimous decision by a three-person panel led by Justice Haruna Tsanami, granted that request.

However, amid anxieties, the appellate court today ordered FG to, within seven days, transmit the record of the appeal and its verdict on the matter to the apex court to enable speedy determination of the case.

Recall that last Monday, the court had reserved its ruling on the application FG filed for the judgement that quashed the 15-count terrorism charge it preferred against Kanu not to be executed, pending the determination of an appeal it has lodged before the Supreme Court.
