Barring any last-minute change, the United Kingdom Court of
Appeal will hear the case of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB.
The court is scheduled to hear Kanu’s extraordinary
rendition appeal on June 22, 2023.
The court had initially ruled that the ground for appeal
raised important issues.
Kanu’s special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, disclosed the
scheduled date for the ruling in a chat with DAILY POST.
According to Ejimakor: “In an initial order, the court ruled
that the grounds of appeal raise important issues. The appeal will be heard on
June 22, 2023. Kudos to Kanu’s family and my colleagues, the Bindmans.”
The IPOB leader was arrested in Kenya in June 2022 over his
agitation for Biafra and arraigned in court to continue his trial.
Despite the courts discharging and acquitting him, the
Nigerian government has refused to release Kanu.
