The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has granted the Federal Government’s application for stay of the execution of its judgment that ordered the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, from detention
The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsanami, granted the application to allow the hearing and determination of the appeal FG lodged before the Supreme Court.
However, the appellate court, ordered FG to within seven days, transmit the record of appeal as well as its verdict on the matter, to the apex court to enable speedy determination of the case.
It will be recalled that appellate court had reserved its ruling on the application FG filed for the judgement that quashed the entire 15-count terrorism charge it filed against Kanu not to be executed, pending the determination of an appeal it has lodged before the Supreme Court.
