INDIGENES of Afaraukwu Ibeku in Umuahia North LGA of Abia State have expressed their disappointment with the ruling of the Supreme Court, which upturned the ruling of the Appeal Court on IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In upholding the Federal Government’s appeal on Friday, the Supreme Court held that Kanu must face trial at the Federal High Court.
The Supreme Court, in the judgement delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim but prepared by Justice Garba Lawal, held that the Court of Appeal was wrong to rule that Kanu could not be tried again based on the illegality perpetrated against him by the Federal Government following the invasion of his home.
Also, the court held that although the Nigerian government recklessly and unlawfully renditioned Kanu from Kenya, such an unlawful act has not divested any court from proceeding with the trial.
