The Supreme court on Thursday granted leave to the federal government to file nine new grounds of appeal against the release of Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the proscribed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra .
At the resumed hearing, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, a SAN, informed the court of his client’s application for bail and another one requesting his transfer to Kuje correctional facility in Abuja in case he is denied bail. After listening to the arguments, the panel advised Mr Ozekhome to withdraw his applications to pave way for a speedy hearing of the main suit.The court subsequently fixed 11 May for hearing on the pending motion and the main appeal.
A three-man panel of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, had stayed the execution of its earlier judgement freeing Mr Kanu of terrorism and treasonable felony charges. However, the federal government asked the Court of Appeal to stay the execution of the judgment freeing Kanu, pending the resolution of an appeal it filed at the Supreme Court.
In addition, Mr Kanu also asked the Supreme Court to restore the execution of the appellate court’s verdict of 13 October, freeing him.
