A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, dismissed a N1 billion suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra , against the Federal Government and Department of State Services .
“Perhaps if the applicant was able to pin point a particular information he gave his lawyers which the 3rd and 4th respondents used against him, it would have helped his case,” Justice Omotosho said. He sought a declaration that the respondents’ act of preventing his counsel from taking notes of details of counsel’s professional discussions/consultations with him at DSS detention was unlawful.After paying N20m of N60m monthly bill, KEDCO disconnects Aliko Dangote varsity

According to Benye, the applicant is allowed access to his family members and team of lawyers on his visiting days without any hindrance whatsoever.
