Speaking with The Channels on Friday, counsel to the state government, Dari Bayero, explained that fresh charges have been filed against the IMN leader under the Treason and Treasonable Offences Act before a Federal High Court.
Mr Bayero, who is also the state Director of Public Prosecution, explained that the state government was not in agreement with the reasoning and conclusion of the state High Court.
“We are going to appeal, there is no doubt about it, in fact, we have obtained the court judgment because we are not in agreement with my Lord’s reasoning and conclusion, it is not in consonance with the facts on ground,” Mr Bayero said.
