The Court of Appeal yesterday dismissed the appeal filed by Felix Okonkwo, one of the lawyers to the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, over his arrest and detention by the police and the Department of State Services (DSS). Justice Okon Abang dismissed the appeal for want of merit. Delivering judgment, Justice Abang held that the appellant failed to establish a miscarriage of justice in the judgment of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja in the matter.
