BREAKING: Court dismisses Nnamdi Kanu’s N1bn suit against FG

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra who is currently in detention, filed a fundamental human rights complaint against the Federal Government. On Monday, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed the suit.

Kanu filed a N1 billion damages lawsuit for alleged rights violations against the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Department of State Service.

The head of IPOB filed a lawsuit under the file number FHC/CS/1633/2023, alleging that the DSS and its Director General had violated his right to a fair trial by allegedly prohibiting him and his attorneys from speaking freely while he was being held awaiting the start of his criminal trial.

In rendering a ruling on the lawsuit, Justice Omotosho stated that Kanu had not produced sufficient proof to support his allegations of interference in his communications with his attorneys, unrestricted access to them, and DSS eavesdropping on his legal discussions, all of which amounted to a violation of his right to a fair trial.
