The lead counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said that the case between the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and the Federal government has been brought forward to 13th September 2022 from the earlier date of 11th October 2022 at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
Ejiofor disclosed this on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, to newsmen in Owerri, while speaking on the change of date.
He attributed the change of date to the continuous prayers by the members of IPOB.
Soireenews reports that Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court, on April 8, struck out eight out of the 15-count treasonable felony charge the Federal Government preferred against Kanu.
Following the ruling, Kanu headed to the Appeal Court to challenge the remaining charges.
A statement by Ejiofor reads: “Our Appeal No: CA/ABJ/CR/ 625/2022; between Nnamdi Kanu vs the Federal Republic of Nigeria, earlier scheduled for Hearing on the 11th Day of October 2022, has been brought forward to the 13th day of September 2022.
“Your relentless prayers and supplications are positively impacting.
“It, therefore, means that hearing on Onyendu’s Appeal challenging the remaining Seven count Charge filed against him, will now be coming up for Hearing at the Court of Appeal Abuja, next Tuesday, being the 13th Day of September 2022.”
Kanu is standing trial before Justice Nyako over his agitation for the actualization of Biafra.
The IPOB leader has been locked up since he was arrested and repatriated to Nigeria from Kenya last year.
