Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafran IPOB Nnamdi Kanu will on April 8 know his fate in his quest to get the terrorism charges against him dismissed.<\/p>\n

Justice Binta Nyako fixed the date on Wednesday after taking arguments for and against his motion asking the court to throw away the charges.<\/p>\n

Kanu\u2019s motion was argued by Mike Ozekhome SAN who prayed the court to dismantle the charges.<\/p>\n

The ground of the motion were that a prima facie was not made against Kanu and that the alleged offence was committed outside the shores of Nigeria, thereby robbing the court of jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

The federal government\u2019s counsel, Shuaib Labaran, however, asked the court to dismiss the motion for being unmeritorious.<\/p>\n
