Justice Haruna Tsanami, who presided over the hearing of the application, announced that a date for delivery of judgment would be communicated to the parties when ready.
The Federal Government, while arguing the application, told the Court of Appeal that Kanu is a huge threat to national security and must be kept in detention to have relative peace.
In a motion for stay of execution of the October 13 judgement delivered in favour of Kanu, the Federal Government insisted that the IPOB leader would throw the nation’s security into jeopardy and prejudice the public and private economic activities.
Counsel to the Federal Government, David Kaswe, while arguing the motion informed the Appellate Court that Kanu had earlier demonstrated to be flight risk when he jumped out of the country when he was granted bail in the terrorism charges against him at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Kaswe insisted that it is in the interest of justice and the need to have relative peace in the South East and Nigeria that Kanu be made to remain in detention pending the resolution of an appeal already filed at the Supreme Court.
Justice Tsanami after taking arguments from parties announced that judgment has been reserved and that lawyers would be communicated when it is ready.
