Federal High Court Sets March 19 for Ruling on Nnamdi Kanu’s Bail Application
The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled March 19 for the ruling on the bail application and preliminary objection to the trial filed by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). This decision came after both the counsel for the Federal Government, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, and Kanu’s counsel, Alloy Ejimakor, presented their arguments and adopted their processes before Justice Binta Nyako, the presiding judge.
The case resumed following a Supreme Court verdict mandating the continuation of the trial at the Federal High Court. Awomolo informed Justice Nyako that the Supreme Court had preserved certain counts of the charge against Kanu, urging the court to proceed with the hearing on the remaining counts. He emphasized the importance of concluding the hearing for the benefit of all parties involved.
On the other hand, Kanu’s counsel stated that they had submitted two motions: an application for bail and a preliminary objection. The upcoming ruling on March 19 will address these motions and determine the course of the trial moving forward.
This development marks another milestone in the legal proceedings involving Nnamdi Kanu, whose case has garnered significant attention and sparked discussions across various sectors. As the court prepares to deliver its ruling, stakeholders await the outcome with anticipation, recognizing the potential implications for Kanu’s legal status and the broader socio-political landscape.
