The remand order was sequel to an application by a federal government lawyer, Shuaibu Labaran.<\/p>\n

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, who made the disclosure in a joint press briefing with the DSS and Police, said Kanu was arrested on Sunday, June 27, 2021.<\/p>\n

However, the briefing was silent on where he was arrested.<\/p>\n

Ruling on the request for remand in the custody of the DSS, Justice Nyako, held that the Prosecution should inform Kanu\u2019s lawyer of his rearrest and remand in the custody of the DSS.<\/p>\n

The judge subsequently adjourned till July 26 for the continuation of the trial.<\/p>\n

Kanu was granted bail in 2017 and subsequently jumped bail and was declared wanted by the government.<\/p>\n
