The Court of Appeal on Monday reserved ruling on the application filed by the Federal Government against the discharge of Nnamdi Kanu, detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the presiding judge, Justice Haruna Tsanami, said the court will inform both parties of the date of the ruling.
At the day’s proceedings, counsel for the Federal Government, David Kaswe, complained that he was served with a counter affidavit by Kanu’s lead lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), last Friday.
Kaswe claimed that a list of one additional authority was served on Monday morning and that he needed time to respond.
Counsel for Kanu, however, objected to the request on the ground that only one additional authority was served, and the Federal Government should has no excuse to seek adjournment because of that singular authority.
Ozekhome argued that the government is yet to obey the court order of October 13 that ordered Kanu’s release.
He urged the court to reject any request for adjournment.
Furthermore, Ozekhome said the appeal filed by the federal government was a civil appeal and not criminal, and therefore should be quashed.
According to the prosecuting counsel, releasing Kanu will cause security threats.
But Ozekhome countered the FG representatives, saying the purpose of the appeal is never due to security.
