The Nigerian Court of Appeal has ordered the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Platforms Africa reports that this came after Kanu has spent about one and half years in the detention of the Department of State Services (DSS).
This is sequel to the others of the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, which upheld the appeal he filed, while discharging and acquitting him of the crimes slammed against him by the Federal Government, according to his lawyers.
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, one of his lawyers, who confirmed this on his Facebook page on Thursday, wrote: “Appeal allowed, Oyendu Mazi Nnamdi KANU, discharged and acquitted. We have won!.”
Kanu, who was first arraigned on December 23, 2015 and later granted bail on April 25, 2017, had in his appeal dated April 29 and marked CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022, applied to be discharged and acquitted.
