Nnamdi Kanu’s trial: DSS operatives block court premises ahead of court ruling
The Department of State Services, DSS, sealed all roads leading to the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, ahead of the resumption of Nnamdi Kanu’s trial as the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The DSS is thought to have shut the roads around the courthouse to increase security.
Kanu is scheduled to appear in court before Justice Binta Nyako to continue his 15-count terrorism and felony accusation.
The Nigerian government brought the charges against him.
However, according to sources, Justice Tosho, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, ordered a secret trial in all terrorism cases.
As a result, Kanu’s case may be remanded to the Code of Conduct Tribunal, or CCT.
Meanwhile, Kanu’s fundamental human rights suit against the federal government is expected to be decided by Justice Nyako.
