The Federal Government
may try the embattled leader of the proscribed Indegeniuos People of Biafra,
IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, in absentia today, Vanguard learnt on Monday.
Kanu was billed to appear
before trial Justice Binta Nyako to be re-arraigned on an amended five count
charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, alongside three other pro-Biafra agitators-
Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Bright Chimezie.
However,
Kanu’s whereabouts has remained unkown, a development that has placed his
sureties, including a serving Senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe and a Jewish High
Chief Priest, Immanuu El-Shalom, at risk of being sent to prison.
FG is
prosecuting the defendants through the office of the Attorney General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice. Charges against them border mainly on
criminal conspiracy and treasonable felony.
