The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has filed an application at the Court of Appeal, praying for a stay of further proceedings in his trial before Justice James Omotosho of Abuja Federal High Court.
In the motion, Kanu urged the Appeal Court to stay delivery
of judgment pending the determination of the appeal.
Kanu’s appeal may impact the 20th November date fixed for
delivery of judgment in the trial.
He filed the motion on notice in pursuant to section 36(1)
of the Nigerian constitution.
Recall that Justice Omotosho had fixed November 20 to
deliver judgement in Kanu’s terrorism trial.
But the IPOB had contested the charge, stressing that he
can’t be tried on the basis of a repealed law, the terrorism act.
Details soon…
