Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) will remain in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) following the pronouncement by the Appeal Court.
The Appellate Court on Friday upheld the Federal Governmentās application for stay of execution of the October 13 judgment which set Nnamdi Kanu free.
Justice Haruna Tsanammi also ordered that the result of the ruling be forwarded to the Supreme Court within seven day for expeditious hearing.
By the ruling, Kanu is expected to remain in the custody of the Department of State Services pending when the Supreme Court hears the case.
