The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has discontinued a suit filled by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The suit was filled by Kanu, against the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, (SAN), demanding the sum of N20 Billion damages for the violation of his fundamental rights.
The update on Kanu’s case was revealed by Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Kanu and IPOB via his Twitter account.
He wrote, “UPDATE on #MNK (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) outstanding cases in which I’m directly involved:
“The UK case is awaiting decision.
“Fed. High Court case for Nov 18 is discontinued.
“The AU case is awaiting decision.
“UN Opinion has been escalated to other tribunals.
“The Kenyan case is set for Feb 2023 (sad).”
Truth Live News had earlier reported that, the High Court fixed Friday, November 18th for the hearing of the suit which also has the Director-General (DG) of National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar, as a defendant.
Kanu, through Ejimakor, had filed a writ of summons marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1702/222.
The application, dated and filed on September 23, listed Malami and Abubakar as 1st and 2nd defendants respectively.
Ejimakor challenged the manner of Kanu’s arrest in Kenya, and also called his continued incarceration a violation of human rights.
The reason for the discontinuation is yet to be known as the lawyer is yet to reveal the reason(s) to the public.
