The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has upheld the January 18, 2018, ruling of the Federal High Court, which proscribed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and designated it a terrorist organization.
Delivering judgment on Thursday, a three-member panel of justices unanimously ruled that the Federal Government acted within the law in banning IPOB, citing its activities as a threat to national security and stability.
Justice Hamma Barka, who delivered the lead judgment, dismissed IPOB’s appeal as lacking merit and affirmed the earlier decision of the Federal High Court.
