Discharge all charges against Me

– Kanu’s councel, Chuks Muoma says the prosecution has failed to exercise its right to appeal on the case
– Says the DSS only focusing on persecuting the defendants rather than prosecuting them
The leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu has asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to discharge all charges against him.
In his reply to an application by the prosecution on the availability of witnesses, the defense counsel, Chuks Muoma said the prosecution has failed to exercise its right to appeal.
He said the prosecution has since the arrest of the defendants focused on stalling the case by “rigmarolling” since its assumption. Muoma said Section 351 subsection 1 of the Administrative Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) allows that when a case is called the defendant appears voluntarily in obedience to court summons or is brought pursuant to a warrant. But he noted that the DSS have only focused on persecuting the defendants rather than prosecuting them.
He said his clients, since their arrest, have being detained unlawfully against various court orders. “Let them bring their witnesses, we are ready for trial, we are ready to hear them and we are also ready to be heard,” Muoma said. Muoma also urged the court to make an order restricting the agency from re-arresting the defendants for this same charge or any other charges again
