For Nnamdi Kanu, the detained director of Radio Biafra, it is still a
long walk to freedom as the Department of the State Security (DSS) has secured
an order of the Federal High Court, Abuja to detain him for another 90 days.
Although Kanu was
produced in court in obedience to an order of the court, DSS asked the
Abuja Chief Magistrate Court to hands off his trial on the grounds that it
lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate on terrorism cases. The 90 days extension was
granted by the court to enable investigation into allegations of acts of
terrorism and financing of terrorism leveled against him by the Federal
Government.
The trial Chief Magistrate, had at last sitting, ordered the DSS to produce Kanu in court.
When the case was called, counsel to the DSS, Mr. Moses Idakwo drew the attention of Chief Magistrate Shuaib Usman to the Federal High Court order of Justice Adeniyi Ademola granting further detention of Kanu for another 90 days.
