The family of detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu says he has written to Nigeria’s Chief Justice and the President of the Court of Appeal, requesting that his pending matters be urgently listed and heard. The family frames the request as a response to prolonged delays in court proceedings.
In reporting on the same development, outlets describe the family’s call as a challenge to what it characterizes as undue postponement of Kanu’s cases before the appellate courts. Both accounts indicate that the family issues the statement to press the judiciary to move the matters forward, particularly appeals and other pending applications tied to Kanu’s detention and related court processes. The focus across sources is on the effort to secure expedited scheduling rather than on any change to the substance of the cases.
While both outlets emphasize the urgency and the family’s direct appeal to senior court officials, neither provides details on the specific cases or the courts’ response. The reports also do not indicate whether any hearing dates have been set, but they consistently highlight the family’s concern about delayed listing and hearing.
