The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed a date for Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to be heard on his bail plea.
The court set May 18 and 26 for a ruling on the IPOB leader’s bail application.
On Friday, Justice Binta Nyako made this ruling after dismissing eight of Kanu’s fifteen criminal counts.
Recall that the judge dismissed eight counts because the proof of evidence failed to establish a relationship between him and the allegations.
Kanu had submitted a preliminary objection to all of the accusations, and the presiding court ruled in his favor.
She said, “I have read the counts, and counts 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 have not disclosed any offense against the defendant.
“Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 15 show some allegations. The court shall proceed to try the defendant on those counts.”
