A Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out 8 from the 15 counts contained in charge against detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government.
Justice Binta Nyako, in a ruling on Friday, held that the affected counts do not disclose any offence against Kanu.
Justice Nyako’s ruling was on a preliminary objection by Kanu, with which he challenged the validity of the 15-count amended charge on which he was re-arraigned.
“‘Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 15 show some allegations, which the defendant has to answer.
“The court shall proceed to try the defendant on those counts.”
