Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed May 18 and 26 for the hearing on the bail application of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu appeared before the court on Friday in continuation of his trial bothering on treasonable felony and terrorism, offences he allegedly committed in the course of his separatist campaigns.
Mike Ozekhome (SAN), who led the IPOB leader’s defence team had asked for a bail application.
Nigeria News House had earlier reported that eight out of the fifteen counts filed against Kanu were earlier struck out by the court.
Mrs Nyako ruled that Counts 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 were incompetent for not disclosing any offence against the defendant.
She, however, ruled that Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 13 and 15 disclosed valid charges against Mr Kanu.
