BREAKING: APPEAL COURT AFFIRMS IPOB’S PROSCRIPTION

Read Time:30 Second

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld the January 18, 2018, ruling by Justice Abdu Kafarati of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which banned the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and labeled it a terrorist organization.

In a ruling on Thursday, a three-judge panel of the appellate court unanimously agreed that the federal government acted within the law in proscribing the group, whose activities posed a threat to the nation’s stability and citizens’ security.

In the lead judgment, Justice Hamma Barka addressed all the issues raised by the appellant, declaring IPOB’s appeal without merit and dismissing it.
