The legal team representing the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday, served copies of the judgment of the Court of Appeal which freed him on the Department of State Services and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

According to them, with the handover of the court order, the Federal Government has no other option than to release Kanu from custody.

Kanu’s senior counsel to Kanu and lead counsel for IPOB, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said these in a statement on the outcome of their visit to Kanu.

The Lawyer reported that the Court of Appeal (Abuja Division) had on Thursday last week, freed Kanu of the terrorism and treasonable felony charges preferred against him by the Federal Government.

Ejiofor’s statement read in part, “Today, being October 17, 2022, the judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered on October 13, 2022, which unconditionally freed Onyendu, was served on the Attorney General of the Federation – Abubakar Malami SAN, and the Director General of the DSS.

“The DSS is expected to immediately enforce the positive orders of the court and immediately release Onyendu without further ado and unconditionally.

“We shall be exploring far-reaching legal measures to command immediate compliance with this erudite court judgment freeing Onyendu, though the details of our strategic legal engagements shall remain private.”
