 The Supreme Court on Thursday, later December 15, to deliver its judgment on the appeal that is seeking to compel the federal government to release the embattled leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, I-POP Namde Kano from detention. A five-member panel of the APS court headed by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Kon-Okage is the matter for judgment after counsel for both federal government and the detained I-POP leader adopted their final briefs of argument. While the federal government was represented by a team of lawyers that were led by an acting director civil appeals at the Federal Minister of Justice T. A. Ghazali, Kano's legal team was led by former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Kano Agabi. Even though Agabi led Kano's team of lawyers, it was Professor Mike Ozekome that presented his appeal to the APS court panel. Ozekome prayed the court to not only order the immediate release of his clients from detention but to equally award very heavy and punitive costs against the federal government. We now humbly appeal to the government of the day to immediately, without any further delay, with the urgency of yesterday, release Namde Kano that it may come out of his illegal and unconstitutional detention, which the courts, up to the court of appeal, have since pronounced upon, but is still illegally being held there today, so that it will come out and join hands with the rest of us in rebuilding this nation that is frantically yearning for Nishamput.
