FG amends charges against Nnamdi Kanu ahead of bail application

The Federal Government of Nigeria has amended the treasonable felony charges slammed against leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu

Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s Special Counsel, said one of the seven-count charges was removed.

While speaking with DAILY POST on Wednesday, Ejimakor said, “The Federal Government just amended the charges against Nnamdi Kanu now, they removed one, you know it was seven, but they removed one, and now it’s six.

“We are in court waiting for the judge’s arrival, and Kanu himself is yet to arrive.”

Trial Justice Binta Nyako had, on April 8, struck out eight out of the 15-count treasonable felony charge FG preferred against Kanu.

A few weeks ago, Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court had struck out eight of the 15 count charges against Kanu.

Justice Nyako struck out counts 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12,13 and 14 of the charges.

She, however, allowed counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 15.

Meanwhile, the embattled leader of IPOB would appear before Justice Nyako today for a hearing regarding his bail application.
