The court of appeal in Abuja on Monday reserved judgment in an application by the federal government seeking a stay of execution of its judgment that ordered the release of the Biafra nation agitator, Nnamdi Kanu.

Justice Haruna Tsanami, who presided over the hearing of the application, announced that a date for delivery of judgment would be communicated to the parties when ready.

 

The federal government, while arguing the application, told the court of appeal that the Biafra nation agitator,Nnnamdi Kanu is a huge threat to national security and must be kept in detention to have relative peace.

 

In a motion for stay of execution of the October 13 delivered in favour of Kanu, the federal government insisted that the Biafra nation agitator would throw the nation’s security into jeopardy and prejudice the public and private economic activities.

 

However, lead counsel to Kanu, chief Mike Ozekhome SAN dismissed the claim that kanu jumped bail in his trial at the federal high court.

 

Ozekhome claimed that the military unjustly invaded kanu’s ancestral home and that it took god’s grace for his client to escape death.

 

Justice Tsanami after taking arguments from parties announced that judgment has been reserved and that lawyers would be communicated when it is ready.
