Nnamdi Kanu: FG charges Radio Biafra boss with treason

Kanu, along with two other persons, was charged with treasonable felony today, December 22, 2015.

The Federal Government has filed fresh charges against Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu before the Federal High Court (FHC) in Abuja.

Kanu, along with two other persons, was charged with treasonable felony today, December 22, 2015.

The new case is expected to be presented before Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the court today.

Kanu’s co-accused have been identified as Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.

The new charges against the Radio Biafra boss were filed despite a court order instructing the Department of State Services (DSS) to release him unconditionally.

The decision was reached by Justice Adeniyi Ademola, also of the FHC, who held that the DSS’ continued detention of Kanu was unlawful.

The Radio Biafra boss was arrested in October and supposedly granted bail but he was never freed.

Kanu's continued detention has led his followers to launch protests in various part of the country to demand his freedom.
