Nnamdi Kanu: Appeal Court Rejects FG’s Request For Adjournment

The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday refused to grant the request of the Federal Government for adjournment in an application seeking to stay the execution of the judgment that set free the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The court, which has resumed its noon session on the matter, asked the FG to move its application or forget it.

The FG’s lawyer, Mr. David Kaswe, complained that he was served with a counter affidavit by Kanu’s lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN, Friday.
