FINAL RULING ON NNAMDI KANU.
The stage looks set for final hearing and
ruling on a bail application filed by the leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu in the Federal High Court in Abuja
The Court has fixed Thursday, November 17 for
the final outing on the lingering case of the IPOB Leader.
The
date was fixed by Justice Binta Nyako who presided over a fresh six count
charge leveled against Mazi Kanu by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Kanu has been detained in Kuje prison after a
he was granted bail by a Chief Magistrate in Wuse Zone 2 Abuja and Justice
Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court.
He was
later denied bail by Justice John Tsoho after the Ademola disqualified himself
from the matter.
Before the hearing today, the IPOB in an
analysis condemned the charges against Kanu saying that the charges had no
basis as the prosecuting agency, DSS, had no legal backing from the Nigerian
Constitution.
According to the IPOB, There is no place
in any of the existing laws of Nigeria and the Constitution where the name or
title or phrase ”Department of State Services (DSS)” can be found.
