The treasonable felony charges against Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have been amended by the federal government.
Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said one of the seven-count charges had been dropped.
“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,” Ejimakor said on Wednesday.
“We’re in court awaiting the arrival of the judge, and Kanu has yet to arrive.”
On April 8, Trial Justice Binta Nyako dismissed eight of the 15 counts of treasonable felony charges filed by the FG against Kanu.
Eight of Kanu’s 15 count charges were dismissed by Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court a few weeks ago.
Counts 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the charges were dismissed by Justice Nyako.
Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 15 were, however, permitted.
Today, the IPOB leader is scheduled to appear before Justice Nyako for a hearing on his bail application.
