The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja heard the Federal government's motion for a stay of execution on the ruling of the appeal court on the 13th October 2022 which discharged and in this case acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the Leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) of all the 15 count charges.
Chief Barrister Mike Ozekhome (SAN) the Counsel to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu prayed to the Appeal Court to affirm the judgement of 13th October 2022 and dismiss the motion of the Ministry of Justice seeking a stay of execution while they refused to obey the judgement that said they must release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he insisted that the federal government coming to ask for a stay of execution while disobeying the judgement of the appeal court on 13th of October 2022 is an insult and total disregard to the rule of law and the court, he likened them as a man who sinned against God and instead of repenting and asking for forgiveness he came to God to ask to be granted another chance to sin again.
Chief Mike Ozekhome said Contrary to what the prosecuting counsel said, the release of Nnamdi Kanu will restore total peace and tranquillity in the southeast, you can see the jubilation that was all over the southeast when the judgement was given on the 13th of October 2022.
He said that one of the dignities of the court is that even when the judgement is injurious no party has the right to say I can not obey it because it is an order, He said the purpose of their appeal is just to overrule the judgement of the appeal court and not for any security reasons.
However, the Court promised to make their judgment quick and will be communicating to the lawyers the date for the judgement without delay.
