DSS Finally Present Nnamdi Kanu at Court, asks For Discontinuation of Case
Category: Nigerian National News
Following controversies surrounding whether detained Biafra, Kanu Nnamdi was alive or not, the DSS on Monday finally brought the embattled Biara Radio Director before an Abuja Magistrate court.
There was however a new twist to the case as, DSS requested that the court discontinue trial of Nnamdi Kanu,
Director of Radio Biafra, charged with criminal conspiracy. Kanu is
standing trial on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy,
intimidation and belonging to unlawful society, to which he pleaded not
guilty.
At the resumed sitting of the case, prosecution counsel, Moses Idakwo,
informed the court that after the arraignment of the accused, the
complainant stumbled on some facts which took the matter out of the
jurisdiction of the court. According to him, the complainant found out
that the accused was involved in terrorism and has been financing it.
“The complainant is, therefore, applying to discontinue the matter under
section 108(1) of administration of criminal justice act 2015.’’ Idakwo
said that the DSS had also obtained an order from the Federal High
Court, Abuja, dated Nov.10, to detain the accused in its custody for 90
days.
Objecting, Kanu’s counsel, Vincent Obetta, prayed the court not to
discontinue the case because the prosecution did not present any
information from the Attorney-General of Federation who had the
authority to approve such. Obetta told the court that the DSS violated
the order of the court which granted bail that was perfected but not
granted, adding that the accused had been in DSS custody since he was
arrested.
Subsequently, the magistrate, Mr Usman Shuaibu, after listening to both counsels, adjourned the matter until Dec.1 for ruling.
