FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FAILS TO RE-ARRAIGN KANU, AS HEARING SHIFTS TO SUPREME COURT

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday, protested his planned re-arraignment on a fresh seven-count terrorism charge the Federal Government preferred against him.

Kanu, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Service, DSS, for over 14 months following his re-arrest in Kenya, accused FG of abusing the judicial process, vowing not to present himself for a fresh trial, pending when the Court of Appeal judgement that ordered his release from detention, is complied with.

It will be recalled that the appellate court in Abuja had in a judgement it delivered on October 13, quashed the entire 15-count charge FG entered against the IPOB leader.
