Nnamdi Kanu’s lead Counsel, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), has alerted the Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Hon. Justice Binta Nyako, of his client’s deteriorating health.

Ozekhome (SAN), made the position known at the resumed hearing of terrorism related charged brought against Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Ozekhome who argued that Kanu was extraordinarily renditioned from Kenya in 2021, stressed that the offences allegedly committed by Kanu have no basis because the place and time of the commission of the offence were not so stated in the charges and that Nigeria has no territorial jurisdiction.

His Lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), told the court that the DSS has vehemently refused to allow Kanu change clothes contrary to a definite court order that he must be allowed to change clothes.

He submitted that the DSS refused Kanu’s brother access to him in their facility on three occasion.

While urging the Court to prevail on the DSS return Kanu’s reading glasses which they allegedly siezed from him upon his arrest, Ozekhome (SAN), decried the deteriorating state of Kanu’s eyesight which, he said, may may go blind in the custody of the DSS.

Trial Judge, Hon. Justice Nyako said, the complaint has been noted and directed Ozekhome to proceed with his motion.

Arguing the motion which sought to quash the fifteen count charge slammed on Nnamdi Kanu, Ozekhome (SAN), submitted that a prima facie has not been made out against Kanu and that the alleged offence was committed outside the shores of Nigeria, thereby robbing the court of jurisdiction.

Counsel to the Federal Government, Shuaib Labaran, described the motion as unmeritorious and urged the court to dismiss same.

Ruling on the motion was consequently adjourned to April 8, 2022.

Kanu is facing a 15-count charge bordering on terrorism, treason, incitement and operating an unlawful group.
