Appeal Court served Malami, DSS with the judgment which discharged, acquitted Nnamdi Kanu

Appeal Court has served the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and the Director General of the Department of State Service (DSS) Headquarters, Abuja with the judgment which discharged and acquitted Nnamdi Kanu.

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) disclosed this on Monday evening after Kanu’s legal team visited the IPOB leader in detention in Abuja.

Ejiofor, who said that Kanu could not hold back his extreme joy over the judgment, added that the DSS was expected to release Kanu from detention without further delay in compliance with the court order.

Recall that the Nigerian government in June 2021 “abducted” Kanu in Kenya and returned him to the country for the continuation of his trial on treasonable charges.

However, Kanu had filed an appeal against the government that his extraordinary rendition from Kenya was illegal.

Following Kanu’s appeal, a three-man of Court of Appeal on Thursday in their ruling discharged and acquitted the IPOB leader, and ordered the Nigerian government and its security agents to release Kanu from detention.

But the AGF, Malami insisted that Kanu was only discharged but not acquitted and therefore, his case against the government is not over.
