The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday hinted at exploiting the process of an out-of-court settlement in the alleged treasonable felony charge brought against him by the Federal Government. Kanu made the disclosure at his resumed trial before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The detained IPOB leader had been in the custody of the Department of State Service, DSS, since 2021, when he was re-arrested and brought back to continue his trial on alleged treasonable felony. The court had last month refused to release him from custody on grounds that the secret service custody is the proper place for the defendant to be remanded during the trial.
However, trial judge who observed that the court has no problem if the parties want to discuss negotiation, urged Kanu to approach the AGF, who is the proper person to negotiate with. On the issue of Forms 48 and 49, seeking the imprisonment of the DSS boss for allegedly disobeying the court's orders, Justice Nyako held that both applications were not before her, adding that the matter would be looked into when she sees the file.
