Justice Ademola, justice of the federal high court,
Abuja, on Thursday ordered the immediate release
of Nnamdi Kanu, director of Radio Biafra and leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The court held that the continued detention of Kanu by
the Department of States Services (DSS) was unlawful.
On Wednesday, Shuaibu Usman of the magistrate court
in Wuse zone 2, Abuja, discharged Kanu, on all counts
of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and leading an
unlawful society brought against him by the federal
government.
The government through its agent, the Department of
State Services (DSS), had elected to withdraw the case at
the lower court for a higher court, which has jurisdiction
to entertain charges bordering on terrorism, to take
over.
The DSS has held Kanu for at least 90 days despite an
order granting him bail in October.
After the lower court granted him bail, the secret police
procured an order of the federal high court, Abuja, to
keep the self-styled leader of IPOB in detention.
But his lawyer, Vincent Obetta, filed a counter
application, seeking bail for the accused person.
A wave of protests, engineered by IPOB, had swept
through the southeast a few days ago owing to the
continued detention of Kanu.
IPOB is demanding an immediate and unconditional
release of its leader. https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-4
