Department of State Services, DSS, has secured an order of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to detain leader of Biafran agitators, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, for another 90 days.

The 90 days grace granted the security outfit was to enable investigation into the allegation of acts and financing of terrorism leveled against the Biafran leader by the Federal Government.

Counsel to DSS, Mr. Moses Idakwo, at the resumption of trial of Kanu yesterday in Abuja, drew the attention of Chief Magistrate Shuaib Usman to the Federal High Court order of Justice Adeniyi Ademola granting further detention of Kanu for another 90 days.

Idakwo therefore, asked the Magistrate’s Court to step down from the trial on the ground that the court lacked power to prosecute terrorism charges.

The Biafran leader was, however, produced in court in compliance with last week’s order of the Magistrate Court, but with heavy security escort.

Counsel to the accused, Mr. Vincent Egechukwu Obeta, objected vehemently to the order of the court and the application that the Magistrate’s Court steps down from Kanu’s trial.
