A
magistrates’ court in Abuja has freed the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi
Kanu, following the withdrawal of the charges against him by the Department of
State Services on Wednesday.
Kanu was standing trial on a three-count charge of
criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to an unlawful society,
allegations the prosecutor has withdrawn.
His arrest and detention has sparked wild protests across
many cities in Nigeria some resulting in the loss of lives.
Meanwhile, ruling on the prosecutor’s application for the
matter to be taken up at the Federal High Court will be delivered on Thursday.
