As reported by Channels News The Department of State Service (DSS), has filed an
application before a Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja seeking to
withdraw the case of criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation
preferred against the leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB),
Nnamdi Kanu.
At the resumed hearing of the case on Monday, the prosecutor told the
court that the DSS had uncovered fresh facts against the accused person
who is also being tried for unlawfully belonging to an illegal society.
He added that the facts against the accused person requires further investigation.
Lawyer to the accused person, however, opposed the application on the
ground that the State Service had refused to comply with the order of
the court granting the accused person bail since October 19, 2015.
He further prayed the court to order the DSS to transfer the accused person to prison custody for easy access by his lawyers.
Magistrate Shuaibu Usman, after listening to arguments for and
against the application for discontinuance, adjourned the case till
December 1, 2015 for ruling.to answer criminal charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
The court had ordered the DSS to produce Mr Kanu unfailingly before it on Monday.
