an appeal made by the leader of the Indigenous People Of
Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. At the hearing, counsel to the
appellant, Chucks Muoma said the application billed for
hearing challenges a Federal High Court ruling against a
bail application by his client. He said the ruling was
granted as though it was the first appellant alone that
made the application for bail.
But the director of Public Prosecution, Mohammed Diri,
prayed the court to dismiss the application. Diri said that
Kanu's application lacked merit. Having heard the
submissions, the lead judge, Ahmed Aboki said the Appeal
Court would reserve ruling on the application. Aboki said
the his team had another emergency case to attend to. He
also said that a date for the reserved ruling would be
communicated to the parties involved in the matter. Kanu
had filed four applications challenging the lower court's
ruling on his matter
On of the application include the ruling by Justice John
Tsoho of the Federal High Court granting the Department
of State Services the permission to protect its witnesses.
