This comes a day after the Senior Magistrate
Court » in Wuse Zone 2 discharged Kanu of the
allegations » brought against him by the DSS.
“The accused person is hereby discharged and the
case struck out,” Magistrate Shuaibu Usman ruled.
The DSS requested the court to discontinue Kanu’s
trial on November 23, in order to charge him with
terrorism before a higher court.
According to prosecution counsel, Moses Idakwo ,
the DSS had found some facts which showed that
the accused had been involved in terrorism and
had also been financing terrorism hence the matter
was no longer under the jurisdiction of the court.
“The complainant is, therefore, applying to
discontinue the matter under section 108(1) of
administration of criminal justice act
2015.” Idakwo said.

October » and supposedly granted bail » but he
was never freed.

Release him since you guys have failed to convict him. This useless arrest and detention has awaken an undying zeal in the heart of his followers which wouldn't have been so if this situation was rightly managed.
