Court Dismisses Nnamdi Kanu’s N1b Suit Against FRN, AGF, DSS

 

A N1billion fundamental human rights suit by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra over alleged right violation has been dismissed.

 

The suit was dismissed by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday.

 

Kanu had, in the suit marked: FHC/CS/1633/2023 claimed that the Department of State Services DSS and its Director General violated his right to fair hearing by allegedly preventing his lawyers from  having unhindered interactions with him where he is being detained, in preparation of his defence in his criminal trial.

 

In a judgment on Monday, Justice James Omotosho held that Kanu failed to provide credible evidence to sustain his claims that his interactions with his lawyers were interfered with, that he was denied unhindered access to his lawyers and that DSS officials eavesdropped on his conversations with his lawyers, which constituted a breach of his right to fair hearing.
