Court dismisses six charges against Nnamdi Kanu

Binta Nyako, justice of the federal high court, Abuja, has dismissed six of the 11 charges brought against Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), by the federal government.

The dismissed charges bordered on “ownership of unlawful society, illegal importation of radio transmitters and researching on how to make improvised explosive devices”.


Nyako said she took the decision to quash the six charges because the prosecutor did not present any evidence.

However, she held that Kanu would be re-arraigned on a five count of treasonable felony.
