The Federal Government has issued a
‘Notice of Appeal and Motion for Stay of Execution’ to the judgment of the
Court of Appeal freeing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi
Kanu.
IPOB’s counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor,
stated this in a statement titled, UPDATE ON OUR TODAY’S VISIT TO OUR
INDEFATIGABLE CLIENT – ONYENDU MAZI NNAMDI KANU, AT THE DSS HEADQUARTERS,
ABUJA”, Tdpnewsng.com gathered on Thursday night after visiting Kanu who is
still in the custody of the Department of State Services.

Ejiofor, however, said they were not
disturbed because the Federal Government has the right to appeal.
However, he dismissed the appeal as
lacking authority, as the Federal Government decided not to comply with a valid
appeal court order, which dropped all 15 charges against Kanu by the federal
government.
"On Thursday, during a periodic
court-ordered visit, we discussed our strategies for successfully enhancing the
effectiveness of these processes as they affect Onyendu's unconditional
release." sentence against Onyendu Kanu in a DSS detention facility.
"He accepts all of our
strategies, especially now that the 'Ask to Stay on Enforcement' has been
scheduled for hearing on Monday, October 24, 2022."
Although FGN's right to appeal is a
constitutional right, we firmly believe that FGN must first comply with the
Court of Appeal's order ordering Onyendu's immediate and unconditional release.
"FGN has ignored affirmative
court orders issued as of October 13, 2022, by the Court of Appeal, which
apparently annulled Onyendu and prohibited FGN from further detaining him
and/or forcing him subject to any "suit or other lawsuits," Ejiofor
told the Daily Independent.
According to the jurist, "The law
provides that a party who fails to comply with a court order cannot be entitled
to or exempt from performance under a court's fair order for "Suspension
of Enforcement" under the same order."
Onyendu's legal team, led by our Silk
scholar, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, stands ready to literally pull the rug from
under their feet at the court on May 24th, 2022.
" There's no doubt that this
completely incompetent "remaining in execution" requirement is
intended to allow the lawless DSS more time to continue detaining Onyendu, but
the plan is that their evil was dead on arrival because we had completed the
mission,” said Kanu's lawyer.
