BREAKING NEWS: Supreme Court Quashes Appeal Court Verdict Against sesseko tabe and 10orders , Orders Fresh Hearing
The Supreme Court has quashed the Court of Appeal judgment that had upheld life sentences against Sisiku Julius Ayuk Tabe and nine other Anglophone leaders, ordering a fresh hearing before a freshly constituted panel.
The ruling, delivered by the Criminal Bench of the Judicial Division under Justice Marie Louise Abomo, nullified the September 2020 decision by the Centre Regional Court of Appeal, which had confirmed the Yaounde Military Tribunal's August 20, 2019, conviction of the 10 separatist leaders popularly known as the "Nera 10".
Lead counsel Senior Barrister Akere Muna said the case has been remitted to the Court of Appeal, which must now rehear the matter with a new judicial panel.
