IPOB urges Appeal court to void Kanu's conviction, cites FG's cross-appeal

IPOB expressed optimism over the appeal proceedings of its leader Nnamdi Kanu, after the Federal Government filed a cross-appeal challenging the trial court's jurisdiction. The group argues that jurisdiction is fundamental and, citing the Supreme Court case Madukolu v. Nkemdilim, contends that proceedings without jurisdiction are void. IPOB urges the Court of Appeal to quash the conviction and order Kanu's release.
