He argued that the government’s failure to join issues in the appeal should not continue to hold up consideration of Kanu’s request for bail.
Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has accused the Nigerian government of deliberately delaying the IPOB leader’s case by failing to file its reply brief, urging the Court of Appeal to set a near date to hear Kanu’s pending bail application.
Ejimakor made the accusation and demand on Tuesday while calling on the appellate court to consider Kanu’s pending bail application despite the Nigerian government’s failure to file its reply brief.
“On this #XTuesday for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I respectfully request the Court of Appeal to set a near date to consider his bail application,” Ejimakor said.
He argued that the government’s failure to join issues in the appeal should not continue to hold up consideration of Kanu’s request for bail.
