A Federal High Court in Abuja has
dismissed six of the 11 charges brought against Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by the federal government.
The Sun reports that the charges dismissed bordered on “ownership
of unlawful society, illegal importation of radio transmitters and
researching on how to make improvised explosive devices”.

A magistrate court in Abuja had thrown out similar charges in 2015.
Presiding
judge Justice Binta Nyako said she took the decision to quash the six
charges because the prosecutor did not present any evidence.
Kanu would however be re-arraigned on a five-count charge of treasonable felony.
Meanwhile, overzealous police officers on Wednesday, March 1, prevented members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) from gaining access to the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The officers also prevented several journalists from entering the high court without giving adequate reasons for its actions
