The State Security Services (SSS) has asked a magistrates court to discontinue the hearing of the case against the director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

At the hearing today, November 23, the prosecuting counsel said since the arraignment of the defendant, facts have emerged which would necessitate for the case to be taken out of the jurisdiction of the magistrates court. He asked the court for the permission to take the matter to another court.


He also said that “coupled with the fact that the accused person has been unable to perfect his bail… the complainant is expeditiously apply for the arraignment of the accused in the appropriate court”.

But one of the defending counsels, V. E Obeta told the court that the team of the defendant has been aligned and all discord settled. He said he and his team are appearing on the orders of the defendant.

Another defending counsel M. U Ibekwo said: “There is no way that they can be in pretense of violating the orders of the court.”

He said the SSS could not pick someone from Lagos, transport him to Abuja and violate the court and then suddenly stumble on new facts that would mandate that the case be transferred to a competent court of law. He argued that under the law, the SSS has no right to hold Kanu in their facility.

“But my Lord, today we noticed that the defendant was brought from the SSS custody instead of a prison facility as stipulated in the law,” Ibekwo said.

He said an ex-partie order by the SSS violated the proceedings and orders of the court.

“My lordship, there is no appeal against any of the orders that have been issued by this court whatsoever,” he said.

He prayed the court not to allow the discontinuance of the matter until compliance is made with the orders of the court.

In his arguments, the prosecuting counsel said that the prosecution did not need an instruction from the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) to discontinue a case.

The accused stood throughout the proceeding without making any comment.

But the magistrate, Shuaibu Usman showed his dissatisfaction in the time taken by the case especially with the verification of the surety and property for bail.


The prosecuting counsel said the SSS has verified that the said surety works with the Ministry of Environment but that there are other matters arising.

The chief magistrate, Usman adjourned the matter to Tuesday, December 1, for ruling on the application to discontinue the case.

Meanwhile, there was heavy security pretense when Kanu appeared in court as supporters tried to touch and get close to him. The security operatives mostly armed search asked anyone who tried to enter the court for identification.

he could not talk through out the proceedings,, I thought he would be shouting freedom based on how lousy he was.. Him eye don dey clear small small

The FG had better accede to the Biafrans' desire to exit the Nigerian federation. It is their fundamental human right. Though I find it quite ironic that Kanu is depending on a 'zoo' court for justice in his current predicament. I hope the Northern magistrate hearing his case will be magnanimous and merciful towards him, considering his rabid vitriol and hatred for Northerners. All the same, Long Live Biafra

The foolish albino don enter the zoo cage and the keys thrown into the Lagos Lagoon. Hebbbossss fear lagoon, dem no go try am!

He will sign undertaking before, he will be released.

Hebboess can lie to make themselves feel good. Buhari or the DSS offered this your phantom largess abi?
Your Supreme Leader will surely spend the xmas and New year in a lonely, cold and dark DSS underground cell in Kuje.

The article was poorly written. Terrible!!! The author should never be allowed to write anything for public consumption again. This is atrocious. Plus, so many inconsistencies in the story. "He hasn't met his bail requirements", "He has met his bail requirements"; which is it? Then, the prosecution needs to take the case to a "competent court".... either the OP has no idea what he's talking about or... because I thought the first step in a criminal case is the Magistrate court?

It's a very foolish thing to be bias at your age.

The conditions for bail have all been met but the DSS is pretending as if they have not verified.

But the magistrate, Shuaibu Usman showed his dissatisfaction in the time taken by the case especially with the verification of the surety and property for bail.


The prosecuting counsel said the SSS has verified that the said surety works with the Ministry of Environment but that there are other matters arising.

Whatever be the case, everyone must thread with caution, those who think they can handle kanu anyhow without a backlash should think twice.

The reason lots of persons are identifying with Kanu is because they don't feel they have been treated fairly. This is the same reason some northerners identified with Boko Haram.
