The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has instructed his legal team to appeal to the Supreme Court over the affirmation of the proscription of his group by the Court of Appeals.
Barr Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to the IPOB leader, disclosed this via his X. He stated that Kanu ordered the appeal after his legal team’s visitation on Friday.
Quoting him, “Rising from our routine visitation of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today, he instructed the legal team that the ruling shall be vigorously resisted within the parameters of the law.”
Kanu, according to Ejimakor, directed that, “The ruling yesterday by the Court of Appeals affirming the proscription of IPOB as a terror group will live in infamy and thus shall be resisted vigorously within the parameters of the law.
“Sooner than later, it shall be demonstrated that the judgment did not pass the muster of the Nigerian Constitution and the statutes pertinent to it.
“Members of the public should ponder these: one of the main issues we canvassed at the Court of Appeals was that the order of proscription by the Federal High Court was obtained through an e- parte application by the Federal Government, instead of through a hearing on notice by a Judge-in-Chambers, as the pertinent law prescribed.”
