The Supreme Court is expected to today hear the appeal filed by the Federal Government asking that it should set aside the Appeal Court verdict that freed the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB Nnamdi Kanu.
It will be recalled that the Court had, in a unanimous ruling by the three-man panel of justices, dismissed the charges against Kanu for flouting all known laws in the way it forcefully brought the IPOB leader from Kenya to Nigeria for the continuation of his trial.
The Appellate Court held that it will not shy away from calling the Executive to order when it edges towards Executive recklessness.
However, the Federal Government has gone to the Apex Court asking it to stay the execution of the judgment the appellate court delivered on October 13.
The Federal Government is also arguing that the Appellate Court panel erred in law and occasioned a miscarriage of justice when it relied on the manner Kanu after he jumped bail the trial Court granted to him in 2017, to quash the entire charge against him.
However, the Ohaneze Ndigbo had pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to allow Kanu to regain his freedom, but all pleas fell on deaf ears.
