The Supreme Court of Nigeria has upheld the treasonable charge against Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The apex court made its ruling Friday morning.
The Supreme Court had fixed December 15 as the judgment date for the case against the IPOB leader.
The court of appeal had previously ordered the release of Mr Kanu in a judgment delivered on October 13, 2022. The three-member panel in the appellate court unanimously rejected a 15-count terrorism charge the government entered against the IPOB leader before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court.
