Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, have taken over the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja as the court is expected to commence the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, today
Daily Intel observed that all routes leading to the court, which is beside the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Justice, have been cordoned off
Kanu has been in DSS detention since June 2021 when he was abducted by Nigerian government from Kenya to Nigeria
The appellate court had declared illegal and unlawful the abduction of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria and quashed the terrorism charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
However, the FG appealed against the judgment at the apex court.
The Supreme Court in its judgment on December 15, 2023, ordered the continuation of the trial of Kanu on terrorism charges.
