The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has headed to the Supreme Court to challenge the descion of the Appeal Court affirming its designation as a terrorist organisation.
A five-ground notice of appeal filed by its counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
The pro-Biafra group said its proscription violates the constitutional provisions of allowing it the right of fair hearing.
In the appeal marker SC/CA/A/214/2018 and filed on February 7, the group said the Appeal Court misinterpreted the Nigerian Constitution by prioritising national security concerns over its right to a fair hearing.
It also said that the court proceedings proscribing it failed to meet the standard proof required in a criminal matter among many others.
