Justice JAMES OMOTOSHO of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the fundamental human rights suit filed by the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), NNAMDI KANU, against the Federal Government.

KANU sued the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Department of State Service (DSS) for 1 billion naira in damages for alleged rights violations.

The IPOB leader claimed that the DSS and its director general violated his right to a fair hearing by allegedly preventing his lawyers from having unhindered interactions with him while he was being detained.

While delivering judgment, Justice OMOTOSHO held that KANU failed to provide credible evidence to sustain his claims that his interactions with his lawyers were interfered with.
