Federal High Court Orders Immediate Release Of Biafran Leader, Nnamdi Kanu by speeder(m): 12:37pm On Dec 17, 2015 |
The Federal High Court in Abuja today, December 17, has ordered
immediate and unconditional release of the Director of Radio Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu, bail.
High Court Decides Kanu’s Bail Application
Presiding over a bail application filed by Egechukwu Obetta, Kanu’s
counsel, Justice Ademola Adeniyi ordered that the Biafra agitator be
released.
Adeniyi’s order came after Obetta challenged the continuous detention
of his client by the State Security Services (SSS) following an order
obtained from the Federal High Court to detain Kanu for 90 days.
But Obetta in his submissions said the SSS had fraudulently
approached the court to obtain the order even while the case was
before a chief magistrate, Shuaibu Usman of the magistrate court in
Abuja.
Obetta asked the court to revoke its order which alleged that Kanu was
being investigated for terrorism and terrorism funding by the SSS.
Also speaking on today’s court ruling, Obetta said this order is a
victory for justice and democracy.
Kanu, who is also the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra has
been in the DSS custody since October when he was arraigned by the
DSS operatives in Lagos and moved to Abuja.

Arguing, the counsel to the DSS, Mr. Moses Idakwo, objected to
Kanu’s bail application and asked the court not to admit the suspect
on bail because he was allegedly involved in terrorism acts.
A Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja on December 16 discharged the
cases against Kanu. However, his lawyer Vuincent Obette said that
Biafra leader is yet to be released from the custody. Source: https://www.naij.com/669897-breaking-high-court-decides-kanus-bail- application.html |
