Court Denied Request For Release of Nnamdi Kanu Seized Passports

   

Federal High Court In Abuja today denied the request by the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra  and Director of Radio Biafra to release certain items in custody of the DSS,which includes a British and a Nigerian passport.
The Oral application that was made by his Counsel , Mr. Chuks Muouma (SAN), on the ground they were not needed by the prosecution was dissmissed by Justice James Tsoho.

Justice Tsoho, in dismissing the application for lacking in merit, insisted that the fact that the items were not listed as possible exhibits did not foreclose the possibility of their being later used by the prosecution as exhibit.
Apart from the passports, other items which Muouma sought to be released to the IPOB leader who is currently in detention at Kuje prison along with his two co-accuse, are cash sums of $2,200 and N87,000.
Kanu, David Nwawusi and Benjamin Madubugwu are being prosecuted on six counts of treasonable felony.
