Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu to remain in detention till Nov

A Federal High Court in Abuja has shifted the trial of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu till November 14.

Kanu is currently facing terrorism charges before the court.

Kanu is, however, to remain in the custody of the Department of State Service, DSS, till the date since the shift in trial was at his instance.

The trial was put on hold by Justice Binta Nyako following the appeal instituted against the high court order upholding seven count charges against Kanu.

Justice Nyako had dismissed 8 out of 15 count charges brought against Kanu by the Federal Government and ordered his trial in the remaining 7 counts.

In a short ruling, Justice Nyako upheld arguments of Ozekhome and shifted further trial till November 14 to await the outcome of the Court of Appeal decision.
