A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday dismissed an application by leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and founder of Radio Biaf‎ra, Nnamdi Kanu, for the release of certain items, including his British and Nigeria passports, which are in the custody of the Department of State Service.

Justice James Tsoho dismissed the application made orally by Kanu’s lawyer, Mr. Chuks Muouma (SAN), who had sought the release of the items because they would not be needed by the prosecution since they were not listed as part of exhibits to be tendered.

Apart from the passports, other items which Muouma sought to be released to the IPOB leader who is currently in detention at Kuje prison along with his two co-accuse, are cash sums of $2,200 and N87,000.Justice Tsoho, in dismissing the application for lacking in merit, insisted that the fact that the items were not listed as possible exhibits did not foreclose the possibility of their being later used by the prosecution as exhibits.

‎He then adjourned the case till February 19 for the hearing of an application by the prosecution for protection of its witnesses.

The judge, before adjourning the case, granted the request by the defence lawyer to the effect that relations of the accused persons be allowed in the court room subject to security screening and the capacity of the court room.

Kanu, David Nwawusi and Benjamin Madubugwu are being prosecuted on six counts of treasonable felony, unlawful possession of firearms and other offences bordering on their agitation for secession ‎of the Republic of Biafra from Nigeria.

‎Justice Tsoho had on January 29 denied bail to Kanu and the two other defendants and ordered that they remained on remand pending the period of their trial.

The judge in rejecting the accused persons’ bail application, held that they were not entitled to bail as they failed to challenge the allegation by the prosecution that they would continue to commit the alleged crime for which they were being prosecuted if granted bail.

Kanu was in the custody of the Department of State Service from the time of his arrest in a Lagos hotel on October 14, 2015 till January 20, 2016, when he was transferred to prison by an order of Justice Tsoho , shortly after he was arraigned along with two others.

Which Passport? Is it the British Passport, Nigerian Passport or the Biafran Passport?

Nnamdi Kanu, I am very sorry, the only place the Biafran Passport can get you to is inside the Kuje Prison. Even for Igboland sef if you no hold money, you con go carry Biafra passport go enter Ifesinachi; God is Good; Guo Motors; Ekene Dili Chukwu etc, say you wan travel, na stone dem go stone you

Irony of life
#IamIgboNotBiafra

Kanu better accept the reality that he won't be needing the passport for a very long time to come. He should get used to life at Kuje prison cos he's not going home anytime soon.

what is he doing with zoo republic passports and currency ...and why demand your zoo passport back ..long jail term await you sorry ass in zoo prison hard luck

GeneralBiati:
if them like make them hold even his underwears, but if on 19 febuary,they do the expected,plan b will come to light

empty chest beater. Why wait till the 19th? Why dont you go carry out a prison break and release him today? We are tired of your endless ultimatum. Nnamdi Kanu is currently in an underground dungeon at Kuje prison, eating watery beans whilst you are here forming James Bond ontop Nairaland. Yeye dey smell

Kanu still remains a great man. If the DSS are still conducting investigation by this time, even with the video you guys have been yapping about, then it means the video is not admissible as an evidence of threat.
The FG looks more clueless in this case. Why haven't they jail him yet, if the video of him soliciting weapon is a super-evidence of treason?
They are just afraid of making the guy a hero, FG has no case here. Everyone except zombies can see that.

Hmm

I cum dey pity dis guy now, karin kapo, ase ko de Ile ejo.

The Dilector hasn't seen anything. By the time the zoo is done dealing with him he will know that jangle has matured. Zoo he must stay he is not going no where after bragging about being the Mandela of his kindred !!!

You want a Nigerian passport?

That's an irony...but not surprised.

I know that ojukwu alsoncame back as a Nigerian... He even voted sef...

Jeez...you guys are disoriented!

Does he need to enter the prison with ECOWAS passport of which Nigeria is a signatory

Why haven't they jail yet?When they eventually do,you will be 1st to wail

The difference between you and your albino looking scammer is freedom.He can no longer run his mouth

The"Zoo"is ra.ping his bushy anus

Can't you read? he want's his British passport. He doesn't use a nigerian passport. A British passport grants visa-free access to more 197 countries. Nigerian passports can only grant you visa-free access to few countries mainly west african countries and some other hell-holes. No sane person uses nigerian passport nowadays. My uncle is married to a beautiful Finnish lady, he is now a citizen of finland after meeting the rigourous requirement, he travels to 120 countries visa free including the US and Britain.

****

Nonsense. what kind of dumb request is that? Kanu should sack his lawyers again jor. Release his British passport so that he can escape jail with the help of unpatriotic elements? By the way, he should be finding comfort in his Biafra passport. I learnt one can use the 'passport' to visit any country in the world

You've had your precious 'video evidence' for more than 3 months now. Yet you can not use it to jail him for treason? Why all the noise then? Your FG look very confused and clueless here, not kanu.

IPOD foolish Youth, even when they know and see that they are loosing out, they still continue in their foolishness.

"If a man (IPOD YOUTH) realize he's a fool and Repent asking for forgiveness, same man (IPOD YOUTH)shall be saved but If a man (IPOD YOUTH) realizes he's a fool and continue in Same path, same man (IPOD YOUTH) SURELY I tell you shall perish In his foolishness.

Buhari is a bastard! He should set the mumu nnamdi kanu free na!
