BREAKING: Court Dismisses Nnamdi Kanu’s N1bn Suit Against FG

A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the fundamental human rights suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), against the Federal Government. Kanu’s suit, which sought N1 billion in damages for alleged rights violations, was thrown out by Justice James Omotosho on Monday.

Kanu’s Allegations

Kanu had accused the Department of State Service (DSS) and its Director General of preventing his lawyers from having unhindered interactions with him while he was being detained. He claimed that this violation of his right to a fair hearing was a breach of his fundamental human rights.

Court’s Ruling

Justice Omotosho, in his judgment, held that Kanu failed to provide credible evidence to support his claims. The court found that Kanu did not prove that his interactions with his lawyers were interfered with, that he was denied access to his lawyers, or that DSS officials eavesdropped on his conversations with his lawyers.

Conclusion

With this ruling, Kanu’s N1 billion suit against the Federal Government has been dismissed. The court’s decision is a significant development in the ongoing legal battle between Kanu and the government.
