The Supreme Court has upheld the treasonable charges against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The Biafra agitator had been detained by the Department of State Services, DSS since he was re-arrested in 2021. It would be recalled that the Appeal Court on October 13 last year, discharged Nnamdi Kanu following his extraordinary rendition from Kenya.
The Supreme Court then set aside the judgement of the Appeal Court and held that the IPOB leader should continue with his trial.
In addition to faulting the revocation of the bail of Nnamdi Kanu, the Supreme Court also maintained that the invasion of his home by the Nigerian Army on the 14th of September 2017 was illegal. The Apex Court, today, however maintained that Mr Kanu is liable to stand trial for treasonable offense.
There is disquiet over the judgment in the southeast region of the country as the hope for the release of the Biafra Leader was dashed by the Supreme Court Judgement.
