Abuja Court Orders SSS To Release Kanu’s Reading Glasses, Adjourns Till April 8

– As Kanu Prayed the Court To Quash Fresh Against, saying They’re Frivolous

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the State Security Service (SSS) to allow the self-acclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nmandi Kanu access to his reading glasses.

Justice Binta Nyako, in a ruling at the resumed hearing in Kanu’s treasonable felony trial on Tuesday before the Federal High Court, Abuja, rejected his instance on being allowed to wear Igbo traditional attire known as “isi agu.”

Kanu’s lead lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) at the commencement of proceedings around 1.30pm on Wednesday, complained that the SSS has failed to allow his client change his clothes despite an earlier order by the court.

Meanwhile, Kanu has filed applications challenging the competence of the amended 15-count charge filed against him.

He is praying the court to quash the charge because they are frivolous and that the alleged offenses were committed outside Nigeria.

The prosecution has argued against the applications and prayed the court to dismiss them.

The court has adjourned till April 8 for ruling on whether or not to quash the charge.
