Supreme Court approves FG’s request to file more grounds in appeal against Nnamdi Kanu

The Supreme Court has granted leave to the Federal Government to bring nine new grounds of appeal against the release of pro-Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu.

 

 

The ruling was given on Thursday, April 27, by a five-member panel led by Justice John Okoro, following a motion by the counsel to the Federal Government, Mister Tijani Gadzali.

 

 

The Federal Government is also allowed to include these nine new grounds as part of its amended notice of appeal dated 28th October 2022.

 

During the resumed hearing today, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, Mike Ozekhome, informed the court of his motions seeking for bail of his client and another seeking for his transfer to the Kuje Correctional Facility to get proper medical attention citing his failing health at the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). He stated that Kanu is seriously ill and needs medical attention he can’t get at Kuje prison.

 

Further hearing on the case has been adjourned till May 11.
