This comes after the federal government filed and served notice of appeal and motion of stay on Kanu’s legal team on Wednesday, October 19.
Reacting to developments on this occasion, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor., the lawyer for the detained IPOB leader, said they were not disturbed because the FG has the right to appeal.
However, Ejiofor dismissed the appeal as lacking authority, as the FG 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 lawsuit,” 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.
