A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit by the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB Nnamdi Kanu, seeking N1billion damages for alleged right violation.
Delivering 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.
The court also held that Kanu failed to prove 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.
