A counsel to the State Security Service, SSS, Mosses Idakwo, on Monday told a Federal High Court in Abuja that the director of a pirate radio station, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, was sponsoring terrorism against Nigeria.
Mr. Idakwo asked the court to disregard a bail application by Mr. Kanu’s counsel, Vincent Obeta, as the matter involving his client was terrorism-related.
He said the SSS had evidence of bank accounts owned by the accused person where monies (both in dollars and pound sterling) were allegedly used for financing acts of terrorism against the country.
Mr. Idakwo told the court that Mr. Kanu had dual citizenship of Britain and Nigeria and therefore could flee and escape justice if granted bail.
He also said the bail conditions issued by the magistrate court were yet to be perfected by Mr. Kanu, who is also the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB).
But counsel to Mr. Kanu dismissed the SSS claims on the grounds that they were speculative.
He told the court that his client had long offered to meet the financial requirement by the Abuja Geographical Information System, AGIS, for ascertaining the authenticity of the properties belonging to the surety, but that his offer was rejected by the SSS.
Mr. Obeta told the court that the SSS had on four occasions flouted the order of the magistrate court, adding that an order had since been given for his client’s release on bail.
He said the request by the SSS to further detain Mr. Kanu for another 90 days, as provided by Section 27 of the Terrorism Prevention Act, was a negation of his client’s right.
Mr. Obeta also said his client had been in detention for 90 days.
After hearing the arguments of the two counsel regarding the bail application, the judge said he would look into the matter, setting aside Thursday, December 17, to deliver ruling on Mr. Kanu’s bail.
Mr. Kanu had been in detention at the SSS cell since his arrest in October by the secret service operatives. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Nigerian govt. will not stop amusing me. If Kanu is a terrorist and finances terrorism, then who is ALI NDUME? A senator of the zoo republic, he was implicated with an indisputable evidence as a BOKO HARAM sponsor, he is still sitting at the upper legislative house comfortably. Dss cannot see him, ok because he is not a terrorist according to nigeria conset. The world is watching, Buhari your keeping Kanu therer will only continue to make him more popular than any housa/fulani/yoruba man that has ever lived and you keep bringing BIAFRA REPUBLIC closer than we thought.
ReplyDeletewhat Nigerians will act since Buhrai is one of those men now ? Please you guys should read this news very well , Buhari was collecting money and Jeeps from Sambo Dasuki , will he stop this Probe now or will Nigerians continue to probe every body there names was mention
ReplyDeleteThis country granted bail to 157 boko haram suspects and now holding an innocent man.whn u see real terrorist you run for ur life and seize an innocent man for expressing his tots...shameless Nigeria
ReplyDeleteI am surprised as well with this fact, really. On the other hand, I realize that terrorism needs sponsorship, because weapons and other military stuff ain't cheap at all. I tried to find out reasons of terrorism in Nigeria ( https://ask.naij.com/politics/causes-of-terrorism-in-nigeria-i23484.html ), but as far as I could notice there are a lot of surprises waiting on me.
