The Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention of the Department of Secret Service for two months now, has asked Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to set aside an ex-parte order procured by the DSS to keep him in detention, and also to grant him bail.
This request was conveyed by his counsel, Vincent Obetta. In addition, Mr. Obetta urged the court to strike out the charge of terrorism against his client, Nnamdi Kanu.
Obetta argued that Kanu had perfected his bail conditions as of October 21, six days after he was arraigned, but the DSS refused to release him. He therefore asked the court to set aside the order granting the DSS permission to keep Kanu in detention for 90 days, and grant him bail.
Obetta further stated that the DSS flouted the order of the magistrate court and "abused court process" by running to the high court to procure an order to keep his client in detention.
The case was adjourned to December 14 for further hearing.
