Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja, on Friday, struck out eight of the 15 terrorism and felony charges preferred by the Federal Government against the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. Justice Nyako freed Nnamdi Kanu on the eight counts while ruling on a preliminary objection filed by the IPOB leader. “I humbly urge my lord to use your discretion to grant him bail subject to my lord’s condition,” he said. He said because the IPOB leader jumped bail, that was why the court revoked his bail and ordered his arrest anywhere he was sighted. On his part, Ozekhome told journalists that the remaining seven counts affirmed by the court would be challenged at the Court of Appeal.
