Court refuses to reverse IPOB’s proscription

A Federal High Court in Abuja has rejected an application filed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), challenging its proscription.

Justice Adamu Kafarati, in a ruling on an application by the group, held that the proscription order made ex-parte on September 20 last year was valid.

 Justice Kafarati held that IPOB’s application, seeking the vacation of the proscription order was unmeritorious and deserved to be dismissed.

The judge awarded N500,000 cost against IPOB.

The group’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, thanked the judge for his ruling, but said he would appeal the decision.
