Onyedikachi Ifedi, lawyer to jailed IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, has raised concerns over the delay in hearing his client's appeal against conviction. In a statement dated 10th September, 2026, Ifedi alleged that the Court of Appeal had not listed the appeal for hearing despite legal issues raised by the defence. He also claimed that the federal government had not filed its response within the stipulated period. The appeal concerns the legal basis of Kanu's conviction, the handling of earlier proceedings, and the application of terrorism legislation to the case. Ifedi called on the Court of Appeal to list the matter and allow parties to present their arguments.
