Igbo Traditional Rulers |
On Monday, six Igbo traditional leaders stormed the Court of Appeal in Abuja to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader who is currently being held in custody.
The monarchs, who were all attired in their regal garb, claimed they had come to court to support their son.
They remained in the courtroom and watched the proceedings in the Federal Government's appeal to delay the implementation of the Appeal Court decision that ordered Kanu's release from custody.
HRM Eze (Sir) Innocent Nwaigwe, Secretary of the Umuahia North Council of Traditional Rulers, was one of the traditional rulers who remained in court till the hearing was through.
Others are: HRM, Chairman of the Ohuhu Council of Traditional Rulers Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu, Chairman of the Ibeku Council Eze Iheanyichukwu Ezigbo, Chairman of the Umuahia North Council Eze Pastor Philip Ajomiwe, Former Chairman of the Umuahia North Council Eze Eddy Ibeabuchi, and Chairman of the Ikwuano LGA Eze Ben Oriaku.
Meanwhile, the appeal court has postponed making a decision on FG's case until a time that will be announced to all parties, according to the court.
