Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo of the Federal High Court on Friday struck out the suit instituted by the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu against the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho on the secret trial of terrorism charges policy of the court.
The suit, which has only the Chief Judge as the sole defendant, was thrown out following its withdrawal by Kanu himself.
Kanu was reported to have sued the Chief Judge before the court following the adoption of a Practice Direction that directed the trial of terrorism-related charges to be done in camera.
He agitated that the secret trial policy which was implemented shortly after the Federal Government slammed 15-count treasonable felony charges against him was an infringement of his fundamental rights to a fair trial.
It was gathered that at today’s proceedings when the hearing was to start, the Biafra Nation agitator through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, announced that he was no longer interested in continuing with the suit.
