Federal government take Nnamdi to supreme court for treasonable felony

 The Federal Government has urged the Supreme Court to set aside the October 13 Appeal Court's judgment to liberate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the head of the IPOB, which is under prosecution.

According to a report by the Daily Post Newspapers, there were seven grounds for appeal against the decision of the Appeal Court in the notice of appeal dated October 18 and signed by the Director, Public Prosecution of the Federation, Mohammed Abubakar, Senior State Counsel, G. Nweze, Department of Public Prosecution, Federal Ministry of Justice, and Assistant Chief State Counsel, D. Kaswe and A. Aluko. Therefore, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is also asking for a postponement of the verdict of the court presided over by Justice Jummai Sankey's execution, pending the hearing and decision of the Supreme Court's appeal.

The Federal government further pointed out that after the prior ruling, the IPOB leader posed a flight risk. As a result, the government disagreed with the Appeal Court's assertion that the treason, treasonable felony, and terrorist accusations made against the separatist in 2021 were invalidated and undermined by how he was transported back to the country from Kenya.

Keep in mind that the Sahara Reporters also endorsed a statement released on Thursday by a group of senators from this country. The senators asked the President of the Federal Government to abide by the court's ruling and work toward true reconciliation rather than filing an appeal. The caucus issued a warning that turning to the Supreme Court would spark a variety of interpretations, which would be detrimental to the nation's unity and corporate existence.

They even mentioned that the verdict of the Appeal Court gave the administration the chance to think about a political solution to the lingering issue in the interest of Nigeria's unity and the peaceful coexistence of Nigerians.
