The Federal Government yesterday took its case against the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu to the Supreme Court.

It has asked the apex court to stay the execution of the October 13 Court of Appeal judgment that freed the leader of the separatist group.

The request forms one of the reliefs in a motion for a stay of execution filed yesterday before the apex court by the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF.

The motion contained a seven-ground notice of appeal, in which the Federal Government not only faulted the lower court’s decision, but equally prayed that it be set aside.

The appellant argued, among others, that the Court of Appeal erred when it faulted the manner Kanu was brought back to face trial after he jumped bail and fled the country.

A date for the hearing of the motion for the stay of execution is being awaited.
