Breaking: Federal High Court Dismisses IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s N1 Billion Lawsuit Against Federal Government

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), against the federal government and the Department of State Services (DSS). Kanu’s lawsuit, which sought N1 billion in damages, alleged that his fundamental rights were violated by the defendants. However, the court ruled in favor of the federal government, finding that Kanu failed to provide convincing evidence to support his claims.

Judge James Omotosho delivered the ruling on Monday, stating that there was no substantial evidence to prove that DSS personnel prevented Kanu from meeting his legal representatives or monitored his discussions with them. This ruling marks a significant blow to Kanu’s legal efforts, as he had sought to hold the federal government and DSS accountable for alleged human rights violations.
