The Supreme Court will on Thursday (today) resume hearing on the appeal filed by the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu over his continuous detention at the Department of State Services, DSS.
Kanu had filed an appeal on November 3, 2022, at the Supreme Court against the Court of Appeal’s ruling keeping him in the DSS custody.
Kalu appealed against the 28 October 2022 decision of the Court of Appeal which stayed the execution of its earlier order acquitting him of all charges and directing his release from the custody of the secret police.
IPOB’s lead counsel, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, in a statement on Thursday said the appeal will be heard on Thursday morning.
He was optimistic the Grace of God would take charge.
The statement reads, “Please be informed, Ezigbo Umuchineke, that the Supreme Court of Nigeria will this morning, hear Appeal over the continued illegal detention of our indefatigable Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“We are very firm in our belief that the Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama will take absolute control of today’s proceedings.
“We shall keep you all updated on the outcome of the legal fireworks that will ensue in the court today.
“Thank you all, Ezigbo Umu Chineke, and remain blessed”.
